I love my LightCap Solar Water Bottle and show it off at soccer every week (yeah, I play indoor soccer again – and have the bruised legs to prove it…). People of all ages are impressed with it – conserves energy with a solar panel on the lid, has a choice of red and white light, looks very cool when filled with water and light goes through it, and it’s also a durable and a large 32 oz. water bottle.

Resolution: Don’t Let the Cold Air in from the Outside
Energy Saving Dryer Vent Closure Systems
$19.99 plus shipping
Conventional dryer vents often act as an “escape hatch”, allowing outside air to enter the home through the exposed opening. This can increase heating bills in the winter and cooling bills in the summer. The Energy Saving Dryer Vent Closure System eliminates this problem, as well as blocking insects and other small creatures from entering the home. The unique “shuttle cup” closure is designed to remain securely closed when the dryer is not in use. Most conventional dryer vents will remain open because of freezing weather or an accumulation of debris. The Energy Saving Dryer Vent helps save energy in places most had not even thought of!
