If we would want to grow our society sustainably I would think that would start with using less energy around the house. After that people could use their cars less to emit less carbon dioxide and use less fossil fuels. Also, a good way to grow sustainably is to recycle and compost waste so it can be reused as something valuable.

I totally support your idea of people should use less energy around the house. Some people love to turn the light on although it is during the daytime. This will be a huge waste of electricity and produce a plenty of carbon dioxide since some light bulbs are LED light bulbs. People need to realize how bad this will cause and start saving electricity.  Depending on the reading I saw "Saving Energy By Turning Off Lights" by Aaron Kase, She points out decrese the using time of light bulb can actually educe electricity usage and extend the life of the light bulbs. It is really valuable to use less electricity inside people's house as less as they can.
