Electricity! It powers our modern lives to such an extent<br />
that we can’t imagine life without it. We know how to<br />
generate it and how to use it, yet we do not really know<br />
what it is. We do not yet know how to reuse or recycle<br />
electricity, or if that will ever be possible. Once it has run<br />
through our devices and powered their magic, it is gone.<br />
There is an impact to using electricity, so it’s important<br />
to reduce our use to manage our impact. The same is true<br />
of natural gas, as well as other fossil fuels, and to a large<br />
extent, water. We must find ways to use these resources<br />
carefully and reduce our overall use.<br />
With other more tangible resources, we have other<br />
options beside just reduce. For example, consider the<br />
bags you are offered when you check out at the grocery<br />
store. “Paper or plastic?” As you make your decision, it<br />
