Climate change is real. You're causing it. You can stop it. Will you try?

Personal Heliostat for home eating and lightingWhether you want to save the planet or just save some money www.IWillTry.org is a site worth checking out. It is a repository of user contributed ideas and projects to help the average person reduce his or her energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and save money doing it.
You'll find projects as simple as...

Adjusting your fridge and freezer thermostats

... as complicated as ...

Converting your attic into a greenhouse

... and as obscure as ...

Building a personal heliostat (like the one pictured) to track the sun and reflect sunlight into north facing windows for heating and lighting.

Take a look. Try some projects. And the next time someone asks if you'll do your part to fight climate change you can honestly say "I will try."
