What I did on my summer vacation...

Well, it wasn't as much of a vacation as a really sweet internship. Two of my previous posts have talked about my work this summer, and this article from the Environmental Defense Fund summarizes the work that all of the fellows did. Collectively, it's a lot! $650 million in energy savings, 440,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent annually, and annual energy use savings equal to that of 38,000 typical American homes. Historically, the Climate Corps program has seen about 89% of its recommendations implemented, so we can expect most of these projects to actually happen. It's nice to get some good news once in a while...
