Sustainability Made Easier Interviews

Episode 21: Transitioning to Renewable Energy with Larissa Johnson

This interview covers so many things that I decided to break it into two podcast episodes. This episode discusses transitioning to renewable energy, including alternatives to solar. Larissa shares resources and more money and energy-saving tips, too. Make sure you listen to our previous episode where Larissa discusses the top 3 things you can do around your home to save energy and money, as well as where to find rebates to help offset the costs of energy-improvement projects.
