How Wasteful are YOU?


 Would you be inclined to change your habits?

Yes, I know I am extremely wasteful when it comes to electricity. I tend to flip EVERY light switch available when I go into a room. I cannot stand rooms that are not well lit, and my apartment has terrible lighting. I’m definitely working on this “bad habit” of mine. Once I change completely it will make a different in my electricity bill, because it tends to be rather high (sometimes).
