This just in from our friends at Kilowatt Ours:
“As we practice good stewardship of our abundant natural resources, we prosper. As we prosper, the planet heals.” Jeff Barrie
I have never been more excited about my work. Today, Kilowatt Ours launches our “Good Energy Stewardship Program” with a mission to help you reduce energy usage by making simple changes in your daily habits and behaviors. This will be the central focus of our organization’s work for years to come, because stewardship is a life-long process, and there are always opportunities to learn and grow. Please help us by sharing this information with everyone you feel would benefit.
What is the Good Energy Stewardship Program?
Before you install solar panels or invest in energy efficiency retrofits there are countless steps you can take immediately that require no budgeting, hiring, or upfront cash investments. I have come to believe that the greatest untapped, potential energy savings available in our world are those that can be realized through changing our minds, actions, and relationship to the energy we use every day. This is the first step available to all people right now, regardless of geography, climate, technical expertise, or income. The “Good Energy Stewardship Program” will help you save energy, save money, and contribute to a cleaner, more prosperous world. I do believe as more and more people make a commitment to practice good energy stewardship, many of the environmental challenges we face today will vanish and be replaced by the clean, abundant energy we all know is there for us.
We will help you on your good energy stewardship journey by providing the following resources for you (all of these can be accessed at www.KilowattOurs.org):
* informational emails about this initiative
* worksheets with practical steps you can take immediately
