You may have received one from your energy provider this past summer. A plea to your conservative side, a participation plea to perform a single action to help the greater good, and it sounds like this: "Please reduce your energy usage between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m."
Whether you believe the environmentalists or not, we are all witness to the ever-increasing global temperatures. Having been an enthusiastic LEED professional, I learned about many of the factors causing increasing temperatures. The Heat Island Effect, the buildup of CO² emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation to name a few. (I am still on the fence regarding cows and their CO² contributing flatulence.) More people, more buildings, more cars, more expansion, more pollution and it goes on and on. So, what are we to do? I adopted a credo learned from my green years and make every effort to Think Globally and Act Locally.
