Today I would like to share a great website that allows you to understand your engergy usage.
http://www.wattzon.com/
"WattzOn is a free online tool to quantify, track, compare and understand the total amount of energy needed to support all of the facets of your lifestyle with the goal of helping you find ways to reduce your personal power consumption."
Simply make an account and then answer some questions about your lifestyle and wattz creates a profile for you.
It starts by looking at the catagories of:
Goverment (your states average usage to run and Mass is in the higher range of the states)
Flying habits
commuting
housing
food
Stuff you use
My quick profile says:
Post your badge in the comments and lets see how you do.
My badge stats:
I am a little over half the average usage of an american
I use as much power as the average american in 1965
my total power consumption is equal to running 457 CFL bulbs 24/7 for a year
A 20% efficent solar panel 197.9 Meters squared would be able to power me
If all my energy was converted to oil I burn 4 gallons a day (I live 4 miles from work and carpool so that helps)
your personal power consumption produces enough CO2 to fill 1,256 one-foot ballons per day.
This is a very cool site to see your impact and learn how to cut it down.
