"Switching to 100% green energy did not make us complacent about our energy use. We identified several energy-saving opportunities in our house. We were already pretty low on the usage scale — 11 kilowatt hours a day, or about one third the Ontario average. But with careful monitoring and some simple changes, we’ve cut our use down to around 8 kilowatt hours a day."
