Utility Smart lets you report on your choices in using natural resources. Choices for staying warm—layers of clothing, turning the heat up or down, and opening or closing windows as well as choices for reuse, recycling and trash are shown with colored sliders and footprints to let you see how they affect the environment.
Use sliders to set choices with the Current choices tab. See how eco-friendly your choices are as you use the sliders. Also see how you're doing compared to your previous choices. Even less-than-eco-friendly choices can be a step forward for you.
Help increase awareness and promote eco-friendly actions with your favorite communication and social media tools — all from Utility Smart. Send your choices and scores in JSON format via email to accumulate your own database of choices over time.
On the EcoDiary tab, a chart shows the eco-friendliness of your choices as you adjust your windows, heat, and clothing layers and as you report on your reuse, recycling and trash actions.

For teachers...
Utility Smart is a great tool for helping students at any level think about their choices for using utilities such as power responsibly. The data students students report on their own behavior can be shared with the Share button on the EcoDiary tab via email or Twitter: It is exported with the Share Button in JSON format suitable for importing into spreadsheets, databases, or other apps.
Eco-friendly Challenges for Teachers and Students...
Challenge students to track their energy-related behaviors. Utility Smart is a great tool for helping students at any level think about their choices for using the environmental services utilities provide.
Students can record their behaviors and share via email or Twitter. Data are exported from the EcoDiary tab with the Share Button in JSON format suitable for importing into spreadsheets or other apps. The Share Button on the Current Conditions view lets you export your current observation to Twitter or email.
