We have a path to energy independence. We can conserve; we can retrofit. We already have the techniques and the technology; we just need to integrate them into our lives.
The quickest and most effective way to lower your energy use, reduce carbon emissions and save money is to invest in energy efficiency measures and conservation. Making your businesses, homes and vehicles more energy efficient is a largely untapped solution to addressing not only your monthly budget, but also climate change, energy independence and air quality. Whether it is changing habits by turning off computer monitors (conservation) or by investing in compact fluorescent bulbs and energy smart power strips (energy efficiency), it is about the choices we make in our everyday energy use.
