Energy Smackdown in Massachusetts

An eastern MA show started last year, wherein three families competed to lower their carbon footprint: Energy Smackdown. They chose families with varying levels of energy usage so there'd be a better chance that viewers would be able to identify with at least one of the three families.

Interesting reading about some of what each family did, and that at least some of the changes will stick. And apparently the show was a success because more families are being looked for, and they want to expand the show to include the communities the homes are in.
