For starters, you can measure what your personal energy consumption is using the tools at wattzon.com to set a baseline and see how you compare against others. Wattzon says about its “embodied energy calculator”:
Every purchasing decision you make has consequences… a significant amount of energy is required to make and deliver to you the stuff you buy and use. This tool allows all WattzOn users to estimate the embodied energy of all of the consumer items in modern life. With this tool well populated, people will be able to see how different products and lifestyle purchasing choices impact their power consumption.
