Save Energy at Home & Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions!

Consider these climate friendly actions:

  • Switch to LED light bulbs.
  • Wash laundry in cold water, hang things to dry, take shorter showers.
  • Insulate your windows, weatherstrip your doors, wear an extra layer, and adjust your thermostat.
  • Replace an oil or gas furnace with a heat pump, review your energy bill to learn about your monthly usage.  

Why should we do this?  Studies show that the energy supply sector accounts for 35% of global emissions, the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions!
