The cover on the March issue of National Geographic has the headline “Energy Conservation, it starts at home”. The article is a case study of a household’s goal to reduce their carbon footprint by 80%. This article explains how households can Go Green and Save up to 60% of their electricity cost by using best practices.
Some of the best practices used are:
- Make sure your house is not leaking air;
- Turn A/C off;
- Open windows to get fresh air;
- Use compact fluorescent light bulbs; and
- Reduce car usage.
“The average US Household uses 150 pounds of CO2 per day… that’s more than twice the European average.”
