As Americans, we use a significant percentage of the planet's supply of fossil fuels - petroleum, natural gas, and coal - to provide energy to our homes. The burning of these fuels causes air pollution and contributes to global warming and acid rain. Global warming is the most daunting threat facing our planet and future generations. For both environmental and moral reasons, we must learn to more efficiently use our precious energy resources.
Fortunately, there is much we can do through energy efficiency to get more comfort and benefit from our energy use while using less - often considerably less. Since saving energy means reducing our impact on global warming and saving money, being a responsible steward of our energy resources is not only the right thing to do, it's intelligent! - Adapted from the Green Living Handbook |
