Re: An Evolving Plan for "Going Green" in all areas of our home

Hello Tina,

Thank you for your note, I do wish we hadn't lost the long answer. I hate it
when that happens.

I keep searching for some use for these things; the peanuts, besides shipping.
To answer your note: there isn't a family here to worry about and as for the
peanuts adding to the fire hazard otherwise known as my home, it is about 4000
square feet of petrol-chemical products which would all burn if I were ever so
unfortunate as to have a fire, but every fire hazard is a concern so thanks for
the warning and I will pass it along.

The good news is I don't have any mold or rodents in the attic. The peanuts
have been in the attic for 13 years now; in black plastic garbage bags laid out
over the fiberglass insulation that is 25 years old. I can not afford to
replace all of it at this time, but I will put it on my list. I am most
concerned with saving electricity and gas with the heating and cooling. A more
efficient insulation which is also green insulation would be my ultimate
choice.

Any rodents around here are usually in the yard, I feed the squirrels and chip
monks while I am feeding the wild bird’s corn and seed. In the house there are 3 dogs and 2 cats so the rodents tend not to last long when they try to move in.

I guess the bottom line here is that using shipping peanuts in garbage bags
on top of inadequate insulation does not seem to be a viable solution to the
problem of what to do with all those peanuts or how to inexpensivly agument old insulation. Phewy!

Thanks, Pam
