I was visiting with some very interesting energy conservers a few years back, and found that they had made a serious study of 'embodied energy' to the point that it became a working part of their everyday conscious perception.
Like, when someone is showing off a new shirt, along with the colors they also saw the BTU content, same goes for a new car and a trip to Italy...
I think that kind of consciousness could use a boost here on ER.
