I will take a look because I can sure use it. It will be tough, because now I have 3 extra people living at home (baby and my parents-in-law). More lights stay on during the night for the baby, and the thermostat now set to 80 instead of 74 (also for the baby). @Journey – thank you. I will take a look because I can sure use it.

It was a challenge I set for my family and we all pitched in to make it happen. One thing I did which I didn't blog about while I was documenting my conservation efforts here: http://lettersfromnyc.mu.nu/archives/135489.php I was imposing fines on anyone (friends, family or guests) who were caught wasting energy. An example was a 25 cent/hr. fine for anyone leaving lights on in an empty room. That made guests, visitors and children aware of their behavior which quickly brought them on board with our family's goals of conservation and energy reduction. Good luck with your efforts and I hope that you too are successful! Pinyo, if I managed to save 12% on my gas & electric bill in a 1,800 sq. ft. apt. by the end of 2006, I believe you can do it too.

That will make the challenge even tougher. @Mark - Thanks. I will have to think about how to best provide updates. Aside from water, both my gas and electricity are on level payment plan. So my measurement are usually on a yearly basis when I find out what I owe the utilities, or if I get any credit back from them. @Patrick – I think it’s definitely possible, but it would require some hard work on my family part; especially with the baby coming next month.

It would be nice to see how you are doing this in a monthly feature article. Now that’s a nice way to set a financial goal by going green in energy.

Of course you can still consume less, you would just have to adjust for new rates. Good luck! Good plan, just hope that your utility companies don’t raise their rates. :)

I love finding ways to save money, energy, and the environment. It's important, and I think more people should do it. You've got a very realistic goal, and I think you will reach it. Good luck!
