Steps for Energy Efficiency from Co-Op America

Is it on? Mine is.
Alas, much of a badass I like to think that I am, my air conditioner is running. And it probably will be a few more times this summer.

How timely!
An article in today’s New York Times actually adds stats and graphs to support the argument that escalating gas prices are doing more to enhance usage of public transportation and reduce traffic and pollution than policies:

The Governator has been busy.
Last week, former movie star and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger officially declared that his state was in a drought and threatened to ration water to cities if conservation efforts were not increased. The New York Times reported:
