Energy savings for the home office

Now that we're all working from home, energy bills could go up. Take some time to evaluate your home office space (even if it's the kitchen table!). Many utilities offer home efficiency kits (LED bulbs, shower heads, etc.) - visit your electric utilities website to see if they offer any of these solutions. The links below will also help you find energy efficiency opportunities in your own space.

My Carbon Footprint

    I choose sharks. They are an apex predator and are endanger due to shark fin trade. The USA is implicit in this illegal practice as 30 to 40 percent of all fins pass through one of America's ports. 

    There are over 400 varieties of shark including the blue, lemon, nurse and cookiecutter.
