Today I found a study in the New York Times on how US could cut 28% of Greenhouse Gases. The study suggest a change in the lighting, heating and cooling of buildings would reduce carbon dioxide emission. Another way the report mentioned is to make consumers to pay attention to energy use in choosing machines or equipment.

Educating people about wasteful energy consumption could leverage their awareness and promote reduction in "carbon littering".

Good job, Abdu!
Yeah, It is a good change in the lighting, heating and cooling of buildings. Sometimes, we can see the waste of electricity in some buildings. For example, I saw that the Coffman union even at night still turn on the light. Waste!

Anyway, good.
