Green Source USA, LLC is pleased to announce the availability of a free online energy tracking tool. The website, called GreenQuest, is a personal energy dashboard that enables community members to track and analyze energy use for their homes or places of business. According to Owner, Libby Bacon, “Green Source is p...roviding GreenQuest to the community in order to educate, raise awareness, and promote energy and water conservation.”
By using this software, community residents can track their energy and water usage and costs; compare their buildings with comparable properties that are also using the software; evaluate energy saving projects; track their carbon footprint; analyze energy use with AccuWeather data; and as an option, obtain an ENERGY STAR building rating (for commercial buildings). The service is completely free for community members and is safe and secure.
Green Source USA, LLC is a strong proponent of energy and water conservation; “When you want to conserve water and energy and reduce your carbon emissions a key step is to track your usage. With GreenQuest, we’re giving every household and business in the community a powerful tool to do that”, Ms. Bacon said. “The free software can help community members be better environmental stewards and save money on utilities. Green Source USA’s intent is to provide a local source for low impact living and GreenQuest fits in well with this objective.”

Do you love your meat? If so would you consider cutting back?
Did you know that livestock production generates almost 20 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases — more than the entire transportation sector. If Americans reduced meat consumption by just 20 percent, it would be as though we all switched from a sedan to a... hybrid. Did you know that animal factory farms pollute U.S. waterways more than all other industrial sources combined. And you’d save more water by refraining from eating a pound of beef than you would by not showering for an entire year.

Raising livestock for food creates more emissions than all transportation modes combined.
