Waste Not Want Not

The other day I discussed an article about the City of Surprise and how they were able to employ new technology in a unique way to help them find leaks.

And they found and fixed over 11,000 leaks in just a short period of time.

I drew the correlation that maybe if folks were to take on the intentionality of finding ‘electrical leaks’ that it might make a significant difference.

Point being we all have, on some level or another, wasteful practices when it comes to electrical gear. Maybe it is leaving items turned on (like lights in a room we leave), or computers left on over night or while gone to work, or even items left plugged in.

It all adds up, and it could be a significant savings in the amount of fossil fuels we burn to create that power that is just ‘going down the drain’.

That said, there is one major waste going on that is on an entirely different level…

Every day in Tucson the sun brings us abundant energy, and it largely goes to waste.

The technology is here. It is in reach of many homes (affordable). And there are many reasons to shift to solar power.

On some levels, NOT going solar can be viewed as willful waste.

I get it, not every home will have the right set of circumstances that lend towards making solar power the right option (shading on the roof, low energy needs, roof condition, etc.)…

But knowing that solar is not only available, but viable and potentially affordable (even financially advantageous) and NOT at least looking into it is quickly becoming ‘willfully wasteful’.

I know I preach to the choir, if you’ve made it this far into the email you’re probably already looking into solar for your home.

Be Good!
