Key Findings from the Interview
- What does sustainability mean to you?
Sustainability means the ability to reuse things and not take too many resources.
- How is energy misused or inefficiently used in your home country/state?
Lights are left on, AC runs when it’s not supposed to..
- If a system that uses energy more efficiently/effectively was introduced to your daily life with a ramification of price increase (say, 10-30%) would you embrace it or reject it?
I reject it.. it’s not sustainable for my pockets.
- Do you have any ideas or opinions on how to improve energy usage in your country/state or as a whole?
Yes. Make the sidewalks or roads to get energy from the weight of steps. Lights should always turn off when you’re not in the house, using automatic sensors or another method.
