Speaking Eco Green

In my younger days, I would go camping with friends practically every weekend. If a whole month went by without my heading out to the woods, I would begin to get antsy and alienated. Being in touch with nature was more a necessity than a vacation or a luxury. But then, as happens to us all, I started getting older and more dependent on modern amenities and technology.

Now happily married, I’ve had to make a few compromises and concessions in order to go camping much at all. For instance, my wife is not the traditional outdoorsy type. She would take a featherbed over a down sleeping bag any day of the week. With that in mind, I saved up to buy an RV with all the top-of-the-line appliances and other luxuries. I mounted RV solar panels to the roof in order to save on power, and the effort has given me a chance to reconnect with nature once more.
