Energy efficiency and renewable energy projects around the home help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy, and can save money.
Individuals—What You Can Do
The effort that individuals and families make reverberates out into the community in so many important ways. What we teach our kids about recycling will translate to how they dispose of waste at school. When we take public transportation, save water, save energy, or help our neighbors properly dispose of motor oil or pesticides, we are making small efforts that have big impacts.
