The Agence de l’efficacité énergétique (AEE) (Agency for Energy Efficiency) in quebec has made a lovely site on energy efficiency. Apart from the normal offers from government on upgrading to higher efficiency appliances an gadgets, there is an online tool of this funny man who you can pull by the hand and click on stuff that will help him save energy. You have to drag him to different rooms and click on items consuming high energy and shut them off. Basically making the user aware of ways to conserve. Lovely 10/10 for a nice and usable consumer tool. Energy Guy English | Energy Guy Français

This is common place in most under developed countries. Most of us living in the west have little or no idea of how seriously precious this natural resource is because for us fresh water flows without any hindrance or pain.
