And the winner is ...

Wow, we sure got a variety of responses to our call for eco sins. Glad to know I'm not the only one who struggles.

As promised, we are rewarding one of our commenters with an eco-friendly pampering kit. Bonnie, who tells us she does many things to reduce her carbon footprint, but can't resist cranking the air conditioner on a hot Baltimore summer day, was chosen from our random drawing of names. Congratulations!

Her comment got me thinking about getting ready for the cooler weather. Last winter, my heat was constantly running, but I was still covered in a wool sweater jacket, and occasionally a winter hat, to keep warm inside. I'm debating whether to replace my drafty windows or just cover them in plastic. Has anyone purchased energy efficient windows that qualify for the tax credit? Was it money well spent?

Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.
