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.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

    I can advocate by contacting my elected officials to have harsh penalties against corporations who violate the laws and not just a small fine or slap on the wrist.

    Helps me not to waste food that is actually still good to eat and not just by going by the different sell by, use by dates. I will eat the food instead of throwing it away.
