Getting Started

I’m assuming you arrived here because you want to spend less on energy, or reduce your carbon emissions – or, maybe both?

This is easy to do, and does not have to be expensive.

If you choose your renewable energy projects carefully, it will cost little money, and save a lot of money on energy bills. It will also save many tons of CO2 emissions. The idea is to make sure that the projects you choose are the ones that will give you best return for the time, effort and money that you put into them.

This is not rocket science – what you want to do is:

Survey the lists of projects and ideas for saving energy at the link just below.
Make a list of the ones that might work for you.
