High gas prices have hit everyone hard in West Michigan. One way to reduce our overall consumption and make a difference in our monthly bills is conservation. Please share with me your ideas on the best ways to conserve: what is working for you now? Do you have any ideas on federal policies that would encourage energy conservation? I welcome your comments and ideas. Note: If you would like to contact me about other issues, or if you would like a written response from me, please e-mail me directly with Write Your Rep.
