[SustainableTompkins] The Energy Diet for the lazy man

[Kenneth Schlather]

This approach is creative, parallels Greg Thomas' approach of using 
trees saved or trees planted as a measure of energy saving, and will 
likely capture the imaginations of a certain segment of the 
population in the US. Might be interesting to try this with school 
kids as well, maybe as a set of math exercises?  If anyone is 
interested in working out these types of calculations to create a 
list of energy savings and pounds of CO2 saved for each one could you 
please contact me? Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County might be 
able to compile such a list, and print them up in bulk for groups to 
use if there was interest. Thanks.  ken
