By making some behavioral changes, individuals and organizations can decrease their consumption of heat and power to save energy.
Specific energy saving activities include, but are not limited to, using more efficient light bulbs; lowering heating system thermostats in the home and office; reducing the use of cars and other petroleum reliant vehicles; and reusing ma...
