REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Online Energy AuditWhat most interested or surprised you about your own energy footprint?
Dorothy Atwood 4/05/2019 12:01 PMWe heat our home primarily with an electric powered heat pump. I've always thought this was an efficient heating method. However, because it is over 5 years old, the energy audit indicated heating as our biggest opportunity. Although, I'm not sure this is true, it is certainly something I now want to look into. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Dorothy Atwood 4/04/2019 7:45 PMI thought I was great at turning off lights. With this challenge, I'm learning I can be even better!! We get purchase Green Power - so in theory it is renewable. Still reducing is the best strategy both for the earth and the pocket book! -
