re: energy::
3) The biggest inefficient energy consumption in the USA is housing! Add some insulation to antiquated NE housing stock and see energy consumption go down. Curbing the amazingly inefficient process of craftsmen home construction certainly would help. 2.5 to 4 tons — about 3 to 5 pounds per square foot — of waste is created during the construction of a typical home, consistingly mainly of lumber and manufactured wood products, 35 percent; drywall, 15 percent; masonry materials, 12 percent; and cardboard 10 percent. The remainder is a mix of roofing materials, metals, plaster, plastics, foam, insulation, textiles, glass and packaging. So energy to make, ship, and use for building is then hauled to a landfill and buried.
