DIY appliance fixes

We can often save resources and money by repairing our appliances when they break instead of throwing them out and buying new ones (with the exception of some inefficient older appliances). You can save even more money by fixing things yourself instead of calling a repairman. Here is a site that has some tutorials. http://home.howstuffworks.com/appliance-repair.htm 

Biking for change!

Check out the Clif Bar 2 mile challenge. For every trip that you log, Clif Bar donates $1 to a nonprofit. Each month there is a new nonprofit that benefits from your riding. Register here and start logging your bike rides. http://2milechallenge.com/
