Fortunately, farmers and ranchers have grown quite savvy in the art of reducing production costs in all areas, including the use of energy. They change production practices when needed, switch crop varieties that have proven themselves as good or better than older varieties in yield, and they use more energy efficient methods in...

Recreation (which means 'play' or 'amusement' according to Webster) takes many forms and brings to mind a huge variety of activities. Some people recreate by exerting themselves through walking or biking, others enjoy reading or reclining on the bank of a pond watching fish steal bait from their line, while yet others like to take excursions in motorized vehicles, even if that little jaunt only means going three quarters of a mile to the county dump. The old adage 'one man's trash is another man...

I am not an avid gardener by anyone's standards. However, I do enjoy working the soil, planting vegetable seeds and watching the plants grow and mature, producing something edible in the process. To me, a garden is all about what I can produce in the way of extra food; it is not about having a profusion of flowers. I appreciate seeing the gorgeous blooms that others produce through hard work, but I won't waste limited garden space on something I can't eat. Therefore, I let others have the...
