Yesturday, we viewed Beth Klein's PowerPoint presentation on Sustainability: personal response to climate change and energy comsumption. I enjoyed Karl's analogy of the worlds oil reserve and a slurpie. This is something that most children will be able to make connections with. Viewing the different aspects of Beth and Karl's committment to reducing their own carbon footprints is an example of individual responsiveness to the Energy crisis. Not only are they concerned about how much energy they comsume but also climate change due to over consuming. Beth and Karl also stated that it took small steps to convert their home to sustain their own energy consumption. Small changes do make a difference.
As a property owner and landlord, I try to incorporate energy effieiency. I would like to use an alternative to heating my home. Natural gas is a thing of the past. I would like to begin a timeline for converting my home to be more energy efficient. As I have worked with NYSERTA in the past, I feel that it may be time to begin the next phase.
