Example:
I am using too much
electricity. Power plants
need to use more coal to
make the extra electricity
I use. Burning the coal
puts CO2 into the
atmosphere.
Example:
I want to reduce the
electricity I use this year.
Example:
1. Unplug unused
electronics.
2. Shut down our
computers each night,
not just hibernate
them.
3. Turn off lights when
we exit rooms.
