Since 2000, Efficiency Vermont has been working to “create energy savings as a public resource,” notes public relations manager Jeff Buell. Efficiency Vermont is the state’s publicly funded energy efficiency utility, and the first energy efficiency utility in America. As an energy efficiency utility, Efficiency Vermont’s goal is to encourage Vermonters to save energy.

Useful Tools and Tips for Tabletop GMs That Should Be Better Known
There are a lot of useful tools out there for a gamemaster (GM) that aren’t necessarily well known.

Of course, every GM and player is going to have a different list of resources based on the type of game they play, their style, and system(s) they use, among other things, but hopefully you’ll learn something new from a few of these tips.
