According to PCMag.com, “the amount of energy Americans use doubles every 20 years.” Even though we often don’t realize that we are consuming energy, it is vital to be conscious about energy conservation and electrical safety. Electricity is used to power everyday objects such as our appliances, technology and lighting and it can be very dangerous if used incorrectly. See below for a list of helpful electrical safety and informational resources.
