I found some information that can be very helpful on this Earth Day. Take a look at them maybe they can help you out in saving some information.

Save energy

  • Energy Star logoUse the ENERGY STAR program (energystar.gov) to find energy efficient products for your home. The right choices can save families about 30% ($700 a year) while reducing our emissions of greenhouse gases. Whether you are looking to replace old appliances, remodel, or buy a new house, ENERGY STAR can help. ENERGY STAR is the government backed symbol for energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR label makes it easy to know which products to buy without sacrificing features, style or comfort that today's consumers expect.
  • Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.
  • Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)
  • Purchase "Green Power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)
  • Have leaky air conditioning and refrigeration systems repaired.
  • Use a programmable thermostat to save on heating and cooling costs when you're not home.
  • Insulate your home, water heater and pipes.
  • Keep in mind that every trip adds to air pollution. Learn more at It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air(http://www.italladdsup.gov).
  • Replace incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFL). If every household in the U.S. replaced one light bulb with a CFL, it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road. (energystar.gov/cfls)

Well done Kim!

I've replace all the bulbs in my home with CFL's and, although they cost more upfront, I've noticed the savings immediately on my next power bill.

Kim, We celebrated the first earth day when I was in high school. I am so proud that it is still going strong...(Over 30 years later...)

Hi Kim....going green is certainly the direction we're taking.  Now if the people in Washington would follow their own advice on waste we could be off to the races ;-)
