When discussing ways to save energy, the conversation often drifts to climate change.  All too often, this leads to a debate about sun cycles, climate prediction models, the ice caps of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and climate skeptics.  

Instead of debating climate change, why not think of all the other reasons it makes sense to save energy?  A recent posting by a respected energy-blogger, MapaWatt, listed three other BIG reasons to care about saving energy and water:

1.Save energy and water because it saves money.
2.Save energy and water because it improves the environment (with or without Climate Change)
3.Live more sustainably because it improves your life, the lives of those around you, and the lives of those yet unborn.

Tough to argue about saving money, the environment, and saving resources for the next generation.  These reasons end any debate about efforts to conserve and seek clean energy.
