Stay fit in the garden, save fuel on the road

Working in the garden means fresh dirt, fresh air and often a good workout. Energy Matters explains that a good workout means staying fit and that means getting better fuel efficiency. Why? Every extra 100 pounds in a vehicle reduces fuel efficiency by one mile a gallon.

Sun power and pollution

A garden turns solar power into blossoms. Solar panels can turn that power into electricity, but Energy Matters warns that it is important to research how those panels are made, too.
