  •  Research shows that summer daytime air temperatures can be 3ฐ to 6ฐ cooler in tree-shaded
    neighborhoods than in treeless areas. The most effective energy efficient landscaping for your

    shading.		  
  •  Replace ten 60-watt incandescent bulbs with 13-watt ENERGY STAR CFL bulbs and
   you'll save $420 over the life of the bulbs!		  
  •  The average CFL lasts 10,000 hours, and when you replace it, you can recycle it!  
  •  If every American home replaced just one 60-watt incandescent with an ENERGY STARฎ
   CFL bulb, we would save almost six billion kWh per year – enough energy to light nearly
   three million homes. We'd also save more than $600 million in annual energy costs and
   reduce greenhouse gases by the equivalent of nearly 750,000 cars.		  
  •  Retrofitting or remodeling an existing home is an ideal way to save energy and costs and can
    include anything from installing a programmable thermostat to installing attic insulation. Even
    small changes can add up to big savings over time!

  •  Solar energy is a reliable and efficient source of hot water and heat. Solar water heaters
    generate hot water for your home. They can be used in any climate, and the sunshine they
    use is free!		  
  •  Energy efficient water heaters use less energy than standard water heaters. When you use, an
    ENERGY STAR water heater it will save you between $30 and $300 per year.		  
  •  Replacing single-pane windows with new ENERGY STAR windows could save you $500 in
