REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergyWhat do you plan to do with the money you save from making more energy efficient choices?
ruby santamaria 10/27/2020 12:05 PMWhenever I do my laundry, I always do it on the cold setting to help the environment. I would someday love to save up for solar panels but I'm skeptical because our roof is so small. I'd love to look into smaller options though. -
