Replacing five incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescents can cut 275 pounds of CO2 emissions per year. Taking the train instead of flights under 500 miles can bypass 310 pounds of CO2. Shortening showers from eight to five minutes saves 513 pounds of CO2 annually, and weatherizing homes through caulking and insulation prevents hundreds of additional pounds of CO2 depending on the type of heating. Using fans instead of air conditioning as much as possible and replacing old refrigerators with Energy Star models also significantly reduces household CO2 emissions.

The indoor air can be five times more polluted than outdoor air due to common cleaners which can cause health issues like asthma and headaches. Using natural cleaners like baking soda and vinegar which are chemical-free can reduce toxins. Homes contribute more to global warming than cars because energy used at home typically comes from fossil fuel power plants. There are ways to cut energy use such as using energy efficient light bulbs, appliances, weatherizing homes, and installing solar panels. Recycling also reduces harmful waste.

Hybrid cars combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency. They work by using regenerative braking to capture energy normally lost during braking and storing it in a battery, and an electric motor provides extra power to assist the engine during acceleration or hill climbing, allowing for a smaller engine. A hybrid's electric motor can also power the car during low-speed driving where internal combustion engines are least efficient.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
