Your Energy Use - Reduced

#Energy #Women #in #Engineering #WIE

Daria Mark is the Co-leader of the Renewables and Energy Efficiency for Mothers out Front. She is working to transition our energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable sources. Responsible for the organization of a diverse group of volunteers to drive forward progress on two key fronts: legislative action on the Renewable Portfolio Standard and a local, town by town action on energy efficiency.

As the federal government moves to stifle the science and action around climate change, we turn to practical family decision-making and our own individual actions. Daria Mark, electrical engineer and leader of the Renewables and Energy Efficiency Task Force for Mothers Out Front, will present 10 concrete ways to cut the energy use in your home, in both electricity and heating/cooling.

This presentation points the way we, as individual energy consumers, can lower our carbon impact and our energy bills. Collected from personal experience and from the work of families around the area, the presentation includes pointers learned from years of saving electricity in her own home and dozens of conversations with families in the Boston area about their efforts to get fossil fuels out of their homes.
