You told us what you wanted to ask Hillary Clinton, and we got the answers. Find out what she had to say about everything from the political to the personal. Read on and get to know Senator Clinton:
What have you done on a personal level to support the environment?
SENATOR CLINTON:We have taken quite a few steps to make sure our house is as green as possible. For example, we have switched not only lamps to compact fluorescent light bulbs, but also downlights and track lights. We've installed motion-sensor light switches so lights automatically turn off when there is no one moving in the room, and we switched to buying our power from ConEdison's green power program. We're also reducing our demand for energy by replacing windows and doors to keep more heat and cold in. This has taken our total [kilowatt-hour consumption per year] from about 14,000 to about 4,300. We're currently working with the Rocky Mountain Institute to determine how we can best incorporate solar energy into our home.
