    Electricity Generation Learn More about Micro Wind
    Micro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?

    There are several Grain Storage buildings in downtown petaluma, also potentially some of the surrounding hills and parkland.

    At Earth Day, I connected with a local provider of solar panels and will coordinate a time to get them more information about the possibility of installing them on our roof : >)

    got a good rating on the online energy audit. Unfortunately, not much we can do in the way of major improvements as we are tenants. But we can reduce electricity usage and make sure all the bulbs are efficient.  Our landloard does have solar on the farm, and uses that for the other units... so that's good.

    My house got a good score in the online energy audit. Recommended to get rid of our second fridge which is our kegerator :(

    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than other countries, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    A learned behavior originating from the animal farmer mentality which was prevalent in much of the US. Fast food is a huge business here and number one on their marketing list is the "All American" Burger or Hotdog with a side of greasy french fries. We need more delicious vegetarian options at all types of restaurants and nutrition education beginning in elementary school. Our bad dietary habits are killing us.

    Riding my bike to town, work, home... has, in more than one occasion, made me aware of social events that were taking place and which I attended spontaneously, meeting people, listening to live music, exploring new foods, etc... Experiences that I would not have had if I had been sitting in a car driving home alone.

    made sure to stop at the store on the way to work instead of making a special trip later
