ELECTRICITY
Modern life is a powered life. We use electricity in many ways to enliven and
enrich our lives (you are online right now, after all, made possible by electricity).
Wise use of resources in generating electricity is a necessity to sustainable
living. More often it is more effective and faster to reduce consumption than to
generate more electricity. Any sustainable approach to electricity will focus on
reducing demand and producing electricity in a clean manner.

Reduce Consumption
When we talk about reducing our electrical consumption, we separate it into two
categories; technological and behavioral. Reducing our electricity usage through
technology includes using compact fluorescent lighting, high efficiency
appliances, etc. Behavioral means of reducing consumption include turning
your light of when you leave a room, unplugging electronics when not in use, etc.

Generating Electricity
One of the more spectacular ways to embrace sustainable electricity use is
through on-site and distributed generation methods. These include
Photo-Voltaic (PV) panels, wind power, small scale hydro generators, among
others.
