There's no insulation and we use an efficient fire place for heat. Every morning in July and August, I take my cup of tea out to my deck and sit under my umbrella and read. From my vantage point right at the edge of the lake I get a pretty good view of the wildlife around me. Chipmunks, red squirrels, snapping turtles, mink, ducks, loons, hummingbirds, and this year a beaver are pretty frequent visitors. Usually.

But as busy schedules push aside home-cooked meals and healthy dinners, the Crock-Pot is a foolproof—and eco-friendly—solution to the fast-food-every-night problem: it uses minimal energy, which is good for your wallet and your carbon footprint; it makes a ton of food, so you always have leftovers; you can use less expensive cuts of meat; and you can throw in meat and vegetables raw (or even frozen) before heading off to work and come home to a mouth-watering meal.
