These efforts (tire inflation, public transportation, energy efficient buildings, water conservation) are not sexy but they have a direct impact on the supply side requirements. Demand-side reductions are local, immediate, and create jobs where you live. Buildings account for 50% of all electricity use. Let's cut that number by at least a third before we spend our hard earned renewables on an inefficient user.
