Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

Angela M. 10/20/2020 12:27 PM

I think everyone can take simple steps to reduce their energy usage -such as turning off the light or electronics when you leave the room and using natural light whenever possible.

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

Angela M. 10/07/2020 6:40 AM
