    It's a short section about this myth but I like the information this site shares about this myth.

    This article talks about lights. We have all been told to turn our lights off, but are we really saving more energy? According to this article we are not.

    This article first explains how it can effective to change the school lighting to energy saving light. It then goes on asking questions and concerns that people might have to changing to energy saving lighting. Though this is one step to sustainability it isn't a full step like people often think.

    the fifth annual survey polled almost 1100 americans and found out that consumers also felt guilty about leaving the lights on when leaving a room and wasting water. But no one really thinks about wasting rations or food. Food costs more than electric does each month and no one really pays attention to it.

    We use energy for everything. We use energy to treat our water , grow our food, produces and to go to place to place. In general we want our community to develop more diverse, reliable, and cleaner sources of energy; to reduce energy usage; and to improve efficiency.

    As you said and the article says energy is so important to us to keep life going. Creating a better source of energy would be a big advancement to help this cause. It is great that other cities are taking action to make a change.

    This article explains the importance of energy greatly, and the fact there is more to energy than "keeping the lights on". Energy needs to be sustainable for the future generations needs of energy, the need for energy won't go away.

    I tried to see what was important on this article but it wasn't very easy for me personally to grasp. I see that you 3 did find the point of the sustainability with electricity. I find it funny that we are always leaving lights on when we leave a room and think nothing of it until we are told it will save us money or that we are wasting something we really take for granted.

    This article states that sustainability and energy interconnect in many ways. I agree with Dominique we use energy for everything we do, but hopefully we don't take advantage of the resources we have now and end up leaving are future heirs high and dry.

    This was a interesting article changing the way indoor environment is seem like a weird way to do thing but the way it is explained seems like it helps. Like using the light self brightens the ceiling and also keeps less heat in the room by changing the direction of the glare.

    this article interested me because my mom is in the medical field and it discusses how places can be more Eco friendly and beneficial to the earth. This article brings up several ways that buildings can be more Eco by using lighting that self's adjust therefore using less energy and less heat because they wont be on 24/7.

    While reading this article I have realized many companies have been going the Eco- friendly route. On the way to work I saw the VA hospital have solar panels on the overheads in the parking lot. I also see a lot of churches installing solar panels.
  • Andrea Manginelli on 28 Mar 14
     
    I love the comments made in this article. I agree with the author when she states that people have to look at the solar panels as part of the system on the building and not as something added on.

    I really enjoyed reading this article because it ties in with food waste what we have been taking about. For an instance I thought they were the same back to going "green" it is good to learn the difference to comprehend both. This is also very helpful for those of us who would like to help but do not know how.

    To achieve a sustainable society then food waste must be recycled as opposed to being sent to landfill sites around the country. We all know the problems that our planet is suffering through global warming that is partly aided by the greenhouse gasses that are produced when food waste is sent to landfill and the ensuing fluctuations in temperature that is suffered around the globe.

    I really like your comment Norma i Read the same thing but saw it in a different light. But then after reading about your going green comment i thought about how ironic it is that color is being considered a sustainability method. It is great when you can see something from someone else point of view and get more from something you already agreed with.
