SOLAR GARDEN LIGHTING

Moon Shine - Garden Week

If 10,000 Biters switch just one outdoor light to solar, we'll save as much as $1,314,000 on electricity bills in a year.

Wanna get loaded on cheap electricity? Go with nonpolluting solar patio lights, and pretty soon you'll be drunk with (free) power: an hour of sunlight hitting the earth provides more energy than everyone in the world uses in a whole year. Drink up.

No hangover for the earth. Solar energy is clean and infinitely renewable. Home-brewed electricity. Solar energy's free, so most of these lights will pay for themselves within a year. You could install these things wasted. With solar pathway lights, for example, all you gotta do is stick 'em in the ground. It took Toshio's parents all of 5 minutes to set up their solar pathway lights - and since they're made with low-energy LED bulbs, they'll probably last a lifetime.

Portfolio Outdoor Lights - easy installation: just stick the stakes into the ground; they automatically light when it's dark out ($40/6 lights). Real Goods Solar Sensor Dual Light - bright-ish security light ($89). Sun Jar - frosted mason jar that holds a solar light that lights up for about 4 hours each time it's charged; if you're feelin' crafty, you can make your own ($40). Solar Patio Sting Umbrella Lights - string up the lights and top your patio's umbrella with a small solar panel: instant patio party ($30). Ikea Solig Collection - the Swedish giant's newest line includes solar outdoor lighting options, such as Japanese-style shoji lanterns ($7-$20).

In the three "dry-by-default" states (KS, MS, and TN), individual counties had to vote to legalize alcohol; it's still illegal in many counties.
