The United States uses the most energy in terms of total use in the world. This needs to change. Our overusage of gas causes us to rely on and support countries that are totalitarian or inhumane in their way of government. America seeks energy independence, but this isn't possible unless we lower the demand for energy within our country. Not only this, but the way we get our energy and use it is often detrimental to the environment. Using less energy will not only help the environment and the country, but will make your energy bill lower! Look below for tips. Also, check this site for more tips (thank you, Christina!).
