The Mission of Five Percent | Five Percent: Conserve a Little Energy

You can change the world by making small changes. You don’t need to march on Washington. You don’t need to turn your heat down to 55 degrees in the winter. All light does not need to come from compact fluorescent bulbs.

Indeed, even if you did all of these, you might find that you’re missing some of the more important changes you can make right now. You can easily and painlessly reduce your consumption by a small amount, say five percent, and make a difference.
