Energy independence at the personal, local and national level is possible.

At the personal level, the low hanging fruit is saving energy, or more accurately, wasting less energy.

Estimates are that Americans waste 30% of the energy they use.

Endependence thinks the way to harvest this energy saving fruit is to work together.  The Declaration of Endependence ( www.endependence.info/declaration ) is a place to share the way you save energy with your neighbors.

YOU CAN take some steps toward reducing your energy use.

YOU CAN share the ways you save energy with your neighbors.

WE CAN get involved with efforts in your community to address local energy challenges.

WE CAN vote for local, state and national politicians that do more than yack about energy independence.

WE CAN understand that energy independence takes the people, government and business working together, and the days of “cheap energy” are going, going, gone.

Here are some examples of the ways people are making their Declaration of Endependence.
