Sustainable Design Energy Resources Renewable & Non Renewable Week 6 Energy use in the United States fell nearly 5% last year, marking the largest annual drop on record, according to an analysis of federal data by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

2. Professor Mark A. Comeau, AIA © Using Energy Wisely  We must understand ecological processes and the interconnections in nature.  We must think globally but act locally as responsible energy users.  We need to take the long-term view and think about the consequences of what we do.  We must look for alternative ways to meet human needs; sustainable ways.  We must not forget the connections between the environmental, social and economic factors involved in development.
