Install CFLs - One of the easiest ways to reduce your energy consumption and cut carbon is to install Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs. CFL's use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last about 10,000 hours, close to ten times as long. Take Action
Adjust Your Thermostat - By making minor adjustments to our thermostats, most of us can significantly reduce our individual carbon emissions while remaining comfortable. Adjusting the thermostat by just three degrees, down in the winter and up in the summer can prevent the emission of close to 1,100 pounds of CO2 each year! Take Action
Install Low Flow Showerheads and Faucet Aerators - Not only will this simple action save water. It also saves Energy! Energy is used to treat, pump and heat water.
