Energy use in the U.S. is the highest in the world.

Energy conservation requires the least effort--shopping locally, driving less, consuming less, eating less and buying less. We must change ourselves by changing our habits, turning off the lights, using less electricity and conserving energy and eliminating the use of toxic chemicals in our homes. Share your values, and your knowledge and experiences with your employers, your churches, your educators, your communities and your politicians.

There is hope and knowledge is responsibility. We are all part of what is happening to the world. Making the world a better place today than yesterday and becoming better shepherds of our environment and world communities will be quite a victory for humanity.
