Saving energy is as much a lifestyle change as anything. Over the last 20 years I have put less than 80K miles on my cars. I have put 40K+ on my bike. I have insulated my attic and crawlspace, and installed double pane windows throughout. We use gas for cooking, we make our own bread(no plastic wrappers). I installed a whole house water filter (no water bottles). I don't have air conditioning, but have ceiling fans to provide cooling on those rare hot nights in Fremont. I have installed some X10 lights and switches in the house to provide automatic, programmable lighting. I would like to install solar panels, but can't afford the installation costs just yet.
