""Love is the most powerful force or energy in the universe. That power is multiplied in relationships. Love's potency is released most powerfully among people who have formed a relationship (a union [a team]). People who truly unite for a purpose beyond themselves become 'differentiated' as they unite and work together in a shared consciousness to achieve their larger purpose. ...In a true relationship, no one's individuality is lost. It is increased. That is the beauty of Connections. These unions that enjoy a collective consciousness become the launching pads for the next stage of evolution, as we learn consciously how to create them and use them." -Savary and Berne"

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Online Energy Audit

What most interested or surprised you about your own energy footprint?

Kelly Austin 10/09/2018 9:42 AM

I was surprised that the energy audit did not clearly display all of the energy efficient options that my home already has in place. That diminished my trust in the audit. I only had the potential to save 5%, it said, by using an energy efficient clothes washing machine. Oddly enough, I don't even have a washer or dryer! But, I do go to a laundromat with earth friendly options. I'm curious about how these audits are structured, what sorts of assumptions are made, and who the target audience is. :-)
