ENERGY EFFICIENT REVOLUTION CHRISTINE DEUGWILLO CPSP218L

THE PROBLEM Limited supply of nonrenewable energy sources Harsh impact on the environment

THE PROBLEM (cont.) Average family’s energy  11,200 pounds of air pollutants each year 140 million cars drive 4 billion miles a day  200 million gallons of gas About 1% of U.S. landfill space is full of disposable diapers Homeowners vs. farmers species of plants/animals become extinct everyday

WHAT DO WE NEED? Transformation of the global energy system Strong international agreement Improvements in energy efficiency Price floor on carbon

GLOBAL SOLUTIONS! UK businesses that implement energy efficient projects will get Government support, while those who delay taking action will end up paying a higher price in the future. Avoid CO2 emissions- use renewable energy Political legislation

Action Plan University of Maryland- 2009’s Greenest Campus Look for the EPA Energy Star symbol Cut down on TV time Turn down the thermostat Buy new, efficient windows Turn off the lights Unplug your electronics Wash your clothes in cold water
