Stacy Strickland 4/29/2021 8:19 AMMaybe you can ask your landlord about making the updates in exchange for reduced rent? It will increase the value of their property... OR you could change the lightbulbs for while you are there, and just put back their energy-sucking ones when you move out ;)

REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityChanging lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! What's next for you?
krystn fuerst 4/23/2021 3:41 PMUnfortunately, living in a rental I am limited in the updates I can make. But I'm going to see if this old electrical system can handle a digital thermostat! Fingers crossed! -
