Free Public Talk with Susan Lincke, PhD: 1:30-2:30
Sunday August 8
Oil spills, higher gas prices,
and earlier Chicago springs are all symptoms of environmental and
energy problems that relate to global warming and excessive energy
dependence. We can realize our own responsibility and do our part -
and not just wait for politicians to try to solve the global warming
and other environmental and energy crises. Learn how to calculate and
reduce *your* carbon footprint, to help our beleaguered planet out …
for the good of our future and our children!
The 3 top sources of
global warming are:
1) power/heating,
2) agriculture, and
3)
transportation
This talk describes how to measure your global
warming impact and reviews high impact steps to live more green. You
might be surprised by the impact you
can have - and the side
benefits of living green... including lower costs, improved health,
increased security, and more comfort!
Susan Lincke PhD, associate
professor of computer science at University of Wisconsin-Parkside,
has worked to optimize her energy efficiency in all three top areas:
home energy, food consumption, and transportation. Most recently she
had an energy audit performed on her home and achieved lower heating
bills of 40-50%. Businesses use statistics to measure performance, and
Susan devised a spreadsheet to measure personal global warming impact relatively
easily.
