My results from the BP calculator are 11067, kWh/yr. The energy I use up is almost half of the pie chart on the BP energy calculator shown on the website. I realized some things that I can do to reduce my energy consumption is to actually recycle, but it is hard when I don’t have a vehicle to drop off my recyclables. I can ask someone to take me there or take the bus to the recycling center. I know I have a lot of excuses to not doing what is right and now I know how much easier it is to just ignore the facts. So I want to stop ignoring the facts and actually do something, because after doing all this research it’s apparent that the earth is going to run out of fossil fuels. Also I want to stop leaving electronics on standby; instead I want to just shut them off, so I won’t use up as much energy. Another issue I sort of deal with is leaving lights on and I think that I need to do my best to leave the lights off till I absolutely need them. Also I can try not to watch as much television. After all, the energy issues is not just a small issue, because it is going to keep growing and it is going to take everyone’s team work to slow down the consumption. So then we can have enough time to find other renewable resources to use instead.
