Learn about your program first then find the best place to participate.

The "best place to participate" is at home... and in your car, and at your job.... the best time is NOW.

A recent pet project of mine is spreading the word about conservation... sounds a little hippy-ish (not that there is anything wrong with that), but consider this... I've shaved 10% off my electric bill and added 15% to my gas mileage.

If everybody did a little bit, that would add up.

I've been doing a bunch of research, and have found out that there are a bunch of ways we can all reduce our energy use (and therefore oil consumption) on an individual level.

I wrote a little blog entry on the subject... If you have the time, check it out... http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

I'm trying to talk to as many people as I can in order to continue to add to my list of ideas as far as how to conserve more in my daily life (and also share what I've learned)... I believe that while we build and invest in large-scale solutions, we can also do a bunch of little things in the process.

Thanks for listening. I appreciate any input.
