Energy efficiency means you do what you are doing now but use less energy to do it. It is possible to live off the grid. But it takes work, and I have more work to do here.

LEDs are a perfect examply of efficiency. Rather than using 85% of the electricity to create heat, and only 15% to create usable light, an LED generates very little heat and uses most of the energy to create light.

This list will grow, but here are some more things to do.

Convert to LED lighting

Drive less and more slowly

Turn off the lights and appliances that are doing nothing to add to your comfort

...more to come...
