“Buildings, not cars, produce the most CO2 in the U.S. The average new house is 45 % bigger than it was 30 years ago.” According to National Geographic Magazine, a 2007 survey of Americans showed that “...60% said they didn’t have enough savings to pay for energy-related renovations. If given an extra $10,000 to work with, only 24% said they would invest in efficiency. What did the rest want? Granite countertops.”
