This presentation covers the basics of home water and energy use, where the waste is, and the hows and whys of conservation.

Presenters Jason Fults and Eduardo Vargas of Drops and Watts believe that through simple behavioral changes alone (i.e., no monetary investment), the average consumer can reduce their consumption by 5-10%. With minor investments, another 10-25% is possible. They will also briefly discuss some of the developments here in Alachua County re: the work of the Energy Conservation Strategies Commission and what local citizens can do to push our community towards greater efficiency. Powerpoint presentation is approximately 45 minutes. Q&A will follow.

Drops and Watts is a local independent business that offers energy services to Gainesville and the surrounding area, and works to promote environmental and economic sustainability via conservation in the local community.
