Lowering resource consumption

Working on improving the house's resource consumption. 2300 sq ft, two stories, in Georgia. Built in 1988.

Started at 2900 gallons, 199.5 therms, and 322 kwh. Rebuilt a leaky toilet, installed low-flow faucet aerators and diverter valves, replaced a number of incandescent bulbs with LEDs, and installed weather stripping around the garage.

Last month got down to 2100 gallons, 99.8 therms, and 181 kwh. Getting better, but there's still more to go. I've got another thirty 60 watt bulbs to replace, another toilet to rebuild, and so much more sealing to do.
