Energy Diet Challenge
Shell and Canadian Geographic Magazine are holding a contest called the Energy Diet Challenge. The premise behind this contest is to pit six different families against each other and see which entrant can reduce their energy use the most. And not only household energy, but also transportation energy. Good thing one can still ride bicycles in Canada during September!
The entry period has already closed, and the contest starts in September 2011.
Do you think your family could reduce its energy usage significantly?
