Times are changing fast--how do people learn new skills? We look at gardening and saving energy. Joseph Kiefer, co-director of Food Works in Montpelier, Vermont, tells of coaching beginners in gardening. David Eggleton of Applied Ecologics in Massachusetts describes how both coaching and competition can help people save energy in their homes, and Washington Electric Co-op general manager Avram Patt tells how the Co-op helps its members compete--with themselves--to save energy.
