Mesa / Build or Renovate Smarter

Mesa is glad you’re here! Each challenge you complete is a small step for Mesa… and a giant leap for the planet. Take a picture of yourself completing the challenge below. Upload the photo here, and you’ll be entered into this week’s drawing. Then come right back and do it again.

Instructions:

According to the Department of Energy, buildings account for 39% of the total energy use in the US , 68% of total electricity use and 16% of total water use, and they contribute 38% of the CO2 emissions. Go here for home building and remodeling guidelines; check out the great tax rebates currently being offered for energy efficiency improvements such as windows, insulation, new air conditioners, and even solar panels. Pay now to save later: some items may cost more initially, but will pay off monthly in water and energy savings; Look for the Energy Star and WaterSense label when purchasing household appliances or fixtures. (Take a pic of yourself doing any of these things!)

Points: 14
