As I was listening to the fan of the computer in this class I was subbing, I started to think about energy saving. Wouldn't it be better for people to turn off their compiters and lights for school districts to save money instead of laying off teachers?
Of course, I started to think about energy efficiency in general. Personally, I think it would be better to invest in energy effiecency technology and programs - such as carpooling. It would be inplemented almost immediately at little to no cost. There has to be quite a bit of energy savings in say better bus systems or LED lights.
Is energy efficiency the way to go? Should we invest more money in programs and technology that saves energy not just create it?
