National Geographic (along with Shell) are issuing an Energy Challenge. On National Geographic’s website you can take their challenge and participate in their Energy Diet.
To do the 360 degree Diet, you need to create an account first and then you can answer questions about your energy consumption. Here’s the link to finding out if you are energy-wise or an energy waster. Even if you don’t take on the energy diet challenge they have suggestions for each month on things you can do to reduce your energy consumption. For May it says to hang your clothes to dry instead of using the dryer. You can also use a high-spin option during the wash and the moisture sensor on your dryer.
I think there will be a new global 360 degree diet beginning in a few weeks. I’m going to utilize some of their suggestions for lowering our energy consumption. I answered the questions to determine my personal energy meter and I scored pretty well. I seem to be 86% lower than the national average. There’s always room for improvement though.
What do you do to save energy? Any fun plans for Earth Day?
