Sustainable Living with Wind Energy

The Jefferson family, living on a farm in Denmark, is committed to reducing their carbon footprint by using a wind turbine to generate electricity. This allows them to power their household without emitting carbon dioxide. They produce more electricity than they consume, selling the excess to other households. The family plans to further reduce emissions by switching to electric vehicles once they become available. The video also discusses the costs associated with installing a home wind turbine system.
