I now have a hydro "smart meter" to help me monitor and reduce electricity consumption. We use energy-efficient light bulbs, use cold water as much as possible, use air-conditioning only on the hottest, most humid days, recycle 90% of our garbage, avoid excessive packaging and operate a 4-cylinder auto for work. Our second small car goes back to the lessor in December and I now operate a motorcycle. Many other "to do"s to follow.
