Shedding those Spring 'kilowatts'
The days are getting longer and summer is knocking on the door. It's time to start shaving off those unwanted kilowatts for summer.
I have been doing some spring cleaning and in doing so I have been looking all around my house for ways to save energy. It has become a game that my roommate and I play to reduce our energy bill. First we swapped out all of our incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescent, then we turned our refrigerator down one notch, we put our cell phone and laptop chargers on power strips with an on/off switch, and so on. Nothing major or complex, and with minimal effort we have been able to save about $40 dollars a month.
The reason for this blog entry is to tell you that we hit a NEW LOW. A new low in that we recently hit 52 kWh 
for the month of April which got me thinking about that TV show The Biggest Loser. Would you be interested in getting involved with your neighborhood to create a "Biggest Energy Loser" or do you think there are entirely too many challenges and pledges out there already?
