Homes use a lot of energy. Most of that energy goes into heating, cooling and lighting, although if you’ve been watching "Living with Ed" on a plasma TV, you’re using energy that way too.
Most of these tips and tricks give you ways to decrease your energy consumption, which not only saves you money but also reduces the amount of greenhouse gases you are responsible for. Once you’ve reduced all of the energy use you can, there’s another way to lower your greenhouse gas emissions even further. Consider using "green power" to keep your home running.
Green power is electricity from renewable sources such as wind or solar that doesn’t require burning any fossil fuels. I create my own green power from the solar panels on my roof, but there is a much easier way to get green power if you can’t afford your own solar panels.
In fact, it’s as easy as checking a box on your utility bill or buying green power online from our partner
Many thanks for all you do. You have inspired many to think.
