My wife and I have been trying to lower our electric and gas bill for several months and luckily warm weather lately has helped. So I'd like to see how we compare to our neighbors. They might have some tips. We also consider ourselves mildly green and actually wish that our city would offer recycling services. Unfortunately, they don't. I would love to get one of those reports.

I can see how people wouldn't like having a big frowny face on their bill. The chart should be enough! I’ve never heard of such a thing, but I’d love to see a similar report for my neighborhood.

There was a similar blog post over on LifeTuner regarding priorities. Tom wrote about how 1,200 homeowner groups had bans on clotheslines for aesthetic reasons despite the huge energy savings brought by hanging your clothes out to dry. http://www.lifetuner.org/blog/137 I understand the privacy argument, but I say as long as the report is having a positive effect and no one is getting hurt, that’s a good thing.

But it would be interesting to receive. I like how you assigned the title to this discussion. I have never heard of such a report. But it would be interesting to receive.
