Reducing dependence on fossil fuels can take on many forms and can be done in a variety of places, such as the home or the workplace, through transportation, and more. As an individual, and particularly a homeowner, you can use many methods to reduce fossil fuel usage. These methods, or “green principles,” fall into five important categories:
· Energy Efficiency/Conservation
· Water Conservation
· Resource Conservation
· Livable Communities
· Improved Air Quality
