I just had my first ever home energy audit and it was AMAZING. I’m a bit of a home energy use nerd, having researched net zero homes the past year, so there’s a teeny chance you might not find chatting about LEDs, weather stripping, and attic insulation quite as fascinating as me.

As college classes start I’ve begun to hear my little sister’s complaints: “I’m so poor.” The broke college student isn’t a joke, it’s a reality for many students, especially those who don’t work during the school year.
