Description
Americans often view energy efficiency as a political or ideological issue which only has passing relevance to their personal lives. CSI Your Home offers an alternative view: that consumption of energy is determined by lifestyles and habits.
The authors encourage young readers to examine the unintentional crimes which they and their families commit in their homes. In the process of solving these crimes, they will make an immediate difference in energy output - and contribute to their family budgets.
CSI Your Home guides readers through a series of exercises to help them reduce energy consumption, cut down on water waste, recycle garbage and use more efficient transportation. Structured as a non-technical energy audit, this 95-page volume presents engaging, fun projects for science classrooms or youth organizations. CSI Your Home is written and illustrated in accessible language, keeping high school students, families with limited budgets, and English Language Learners in clear focus. Readers are shown how to write case studies, form Energy Action Teams, make presentations to elected officials and form (or join) energy-aware consumer networks.
