Kilowatt Ours: Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

From Ben Lynch at HealthE Goods.com: A Web site, Kilowatt Ours, aggregates a number of power-saving, planet-saving tactics. Included is a showguide to author Jeff Barrie's film by the same name, which the Sierra Club showed to our Phinney Ridge EcoVillage group last spring. The film shows both sides of the global warming equation, the devastation of the environment in the name of power consumption and strategies for reducing individual power use. It's worth seeing if you get the chance (not yet available on Netflix, apparently). In the meantime, check out the Web site!
