Good resources for emission reductions

www.stopglobalwarming.org This site lets users join the Stop Global Warming Virtual March (in about as much time as it takes to read this sentence twice). It also has consumer tips. ANDREW POSTMAN

Biland Family - Ways to Save CO2

Nick- Laura and I have installed additional insulation (albeit in the dead of summer, so I almost died in the attic!), installed a timer on our hot water circulator, reduced the average temperature in the house during the winter months, and lowered the temperature on our hot water heater. Before this whole thing started we had changed out our windows to help maintain the temperature in our house and we have considered installing a radiant barrier in the attic for further energy savings. We'd be curious to learn if anyone else had alternatives they have implemented that might be applicable in our home. Keep up the good work. Also, I am going to enlist my classmates at school to participate in an all North Texas version of the CO2 reduction intiative. I'll be in touch to find out what I need to start it. Talk to you later. Joe & Laura & Hannah.
