(See a larger PDF version here.) A\u00a0few takeaways: Homes use a lot of energy. Residential energy usage is responsible for 11 percent of the greenhouse gas pie, while public and commercial buildings eat up 7 percent. We can do better. To reduce energy use (and save money!), find out what\u00a0energy efficiency incentives your utility offers, and create a customized plan to reduce your natural gas and electric bills. It&#8217;s not all about fossil fuels.\u00a0Burning coal, natural gas and oil accounts for 65 percent of greenhouse gas production, but fossil fuels aren&#8217;t the only factor. Ecofys attributed more than 10 percent to deforestation\u2014nearly as much as residential energy usage. The energy industry can be more efficient.\u00a0Energy usage and losses incurred by the energy industry itself account for more than 8 percent of greenhouse gas production. A modernized power grid\u00a0eliminates some of these inefficiencies. What are your takeaways from the graphic?","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cubillinois.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/greenhousegaschart.jpg?w=640"}
