    What most interested or surprised you about your energy audit?

    Allison Kuhn 4/26/2023 3:26 PM
    What surprised me is how little energy I am using. I believe my "living in the dark" method at home couple with my use of public transportation/walking/bike really helps lower my energy.

    Right now I am taking a sustainability in supply chain course in an NYU MBA class, and we have been learning how SDGs are so interconnected to our supply chain. Everyone needs to start paying attention to their products supply chain, because our $ is our power!
