I spent my adult life educating young minds and getting them passionate about science and engineering. In the last twenty years or so, I also became passionate about educating my students on climate change and ways they can make a difference in this world. My husband and I don't only educate about climate change and sustainability, we live it every day. At our house we own 53 solar panels, have geothermal heating, attic insulation and insulation on our vinyl siding, and new windows. We used the federal tax incentive of 30% to help pay for the costs. Using data from our energy bill, we reduced our energy use by 40% just by insulating our home. Add the solar energy we are getting from our panels and it has been a win/win for getting to net zero at our home. Educating others about the importance of individual change and choices in this fossil fuel economy is a must.
