Thrift Store Shopping for a Small Planet

Amidst the exploration of macro-level energy improvements (solar, nuclear, natural gas, etc) there’s an easy-to-forget factor in our country’s energy discussion: our day-to-day decisions. Not a, “lets start using recycled grocery store totes instead of plastic” kind of analysis, but rather a hard look at simple everyday decision-making that wastes energy and resources.
Here are just three areas worth exploring. This isn’t meant to be an all-encompassing actionable list, but rather something that spurs changes across your broader thought process.
This month, challenge a neighbor to GOOD’s energy smackdown. Find a neighbor with a household of roughly the same square footage and see who can trim their power bill the most. Throughout February, we’ll share ideas and resources for shrinking your household carbon footprint, so join the conversation at good.is/energy.
