There is a great article in the March 2009 National Geographic publication called “Saving Energy – It Starts at Home.” In this article, Peter Miller walks you through how he and his wife (along with some neighbors) attempted a CO2 emissions “diet” which started off with an energy audit of their home.  Their goal was to reduce their emissions by 80% of the national average of 150 lbs of CO2/day.  Miller walks the reader through the steps they took to control their “diet” and lots of interesting related facts that make you stop and think. I highly recommend you read the article and get an energy audit of your own! (Search for an energy guage rater here!)
