Hey Y'all!
So I found this really cool website that Chevron has created called, "Energy Calculator." This site is really helpful in order for the public to actually see the importance and the positive reuslts of saving energy. The site does this through a dynamic website that shows the different things that one can do if they save x amount of energy or do a certain thing only a certain number of times a week.
For example, the site states that if a person carpools with a friend only one time a week, you will save enough energy to re-charge your laptop 115 times! It then says that if 1,000 people did the same the amount of energy saved would equal the energy that a car uses for an entire year!
Chevron believes that this is a creative way through which people can learn about energy consumption. They also believe that this is a proper educational tool because it shows the different equivalents of energy consunption through different things that we use on a daily basis.
I encourage all of you to take a look at this site. You will definitely be surprised at the amount of energy a simple thing like chargin a computer takes!
Here is the site: http://willyoujoinus.com/usingenergywisely/energygenerator/?gclid=CIOt97ybw6ECFddR2godqg5b-A

ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, I work with a few of my friends in the summer and I feel like I could definitely begin to carpool instead of taking three different cars. I calculated my energy generator, if I carpooled 5 times a week I could charge my laptop 602 times. Thats amazing!
