Living starts with you, your home and your choices.
We cannot expect
each community member to take an active approach on energy conservaton
without first taking a look into our personal practices at home. By involving
our children, educating ourselves on practical energy and lifestyle choices,
we can then develop the positive choices to be a part of the change. There
are some practical ways to change our home lifestyle. Please visit our
website links for practical advice.

DID YOU
KNOW. . . you can reduce your energy bill by about 30% by purchasing energy
efficient products for your home? buy energy efficient products and help
prevent air pollution. . . . that smart buying choices not only save your
pocketbook money but they also help the air we breathe?
That every
time you buy new heating or cooling equipment, appliances, consumer electronics,
or office equipment for your home, your choices affect the environment?
Smart buying choices not only help the air we breathe but also reduce
our energy bills month after month. You can save money and the environment
by understanding the basics about home energy use and by selecting the
most energy efficient products. This guide is designed to help you do
just that.
Much of the
energy consumed in homes is produced by power plants that burn fossil
fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Pollution from these fuel sources
harms the environment and can cause respiratory disease, smog, and acid
rain. It also contributes to global climate change. In fact, the average
home may be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions of the
average car.
Choosing
energy efficient products is one of the smartest ways consumers can reduce
energy use and help prevent greenhouse gas emissions. A household that
buys energy efficient equipment instead of standard new equipment can
substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions over the lifetime of the
products -- pollution savings equivalent to taking a car off the road
for seven years. Using energy efficient products in your home can also
reduce nitrogen oxides, which are primary contributors to smog and acid
rain.
Energy efficient
products also save money. When we receive our monthly energy bill, many
of us think there is little we can do to reduce monthly costs‹besides
adjusting our thermostat. But this is not true! The products you select
can significantly affect that monthly bill. You can reduce your energy
bill by about 30 percent when you purchase energy efficient products.
These savings can add up. The average American household spends approximately
$1,500 per year on energy costs. Thus the average household can save about
one-third on their energy bills by purchasing energy efficient products.
If you live in an area with higher than average energy prices or extremes
in weather temperatures or if your major appliances are old, chances are
your annual bills are even more, and so are the potential savings
