Greenbox is working on giving us web-based tools to evaluate our energy usage in the home, and to understand that usage in greater context with those around us, too. Users can also use that information to pinpoint savings opportunities and to understand our footprints on the planet.

Greenbox offers this food for thought:

“If 30% of us reduced our electricity usage by 20%, we would save over $8 billion per year on our energy bills, reduce emissions by 105 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year and avoid $10 billion in construction of new power plants. This is the equivalent of 35 coal fired power plants operating 24 hours per day.
