ENERGY CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY
According to World Watch Institute, world electricity demand is expected to double between 2000 and 2030. More demand for electricity means more demand for energy sources. As we are learning, most of our current reserves of energy resources are finite. As the supply of cheap energy decreases, prices will most certainly go up. By implementing simple, affordable and often money saving conservation practices and installing efficient equipment, we can become part of the solution.
