My friend Al Zelicoff is a maestro of energy conservation. It seems like a no-brainer to Al, because of the money he saves. What he has long puzzled over is why everyone doesn’t do it. The answer, I think: information. So I was delighted when my editor, Charlie, suggested recently that we have Al do an “energy tip of the week” in the newspaper.

Started yesterday, and we’ve thrown up an energy tips web page that will serve as a reusable receptacle for Al’s wisdom.
