How would you like to make a difference by saving energy? Well you can and it is easy. The great news is that if everyone made small changes than together we could make a big difference. You can make small changes that will make big impacts. For example, if every American household just changed one light bulb to an Energy Star light bulb, we could save more than $600 million in anual energy costs. We would also prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. What does that mean - it means that we would eliminate greenhouse gas emissions that would be equilivant to 800,000 cars.
Are you interested in others thing you can do? I hope so because we all can make small changes to make a big impact together.
