Why Next Step Living Can Help Now
- There is a confluence of reasons why people want to act now
- Household energy costs are at historic levels and rising
- Many citizens want to do more to mitigate climate change
- Many citizens want to decrease our dependence on foreign oil
- Household energy use is significant and represents both a savings opportunity and a way for individual citizens to make a real contribution to the climate fight.
- Households contribute 15-20% of global emissions
- Building emissions can be reduced and best of all, they save the building owners money, often with short payback periods.
- Many people would like to save money and help the climate but acting on this is hard
- Each house has different footprints and savings opportunities
- Most residents don’t know what changes make the most sense
