Reducing Energy Consumption

Reducing energy decreases greenhouse gas emissions and also reduces harmful pollution from coal-fired power plants, coal mining, and nuclear power plants. It may also reduce political stresses and violence in Africa and the Middle East.

Reducing energy consumption begins at home. When replacing household appliances such as refrigerators and your washer and dryer, look for a high efficiency model. Adding insulation and replacing windows with double-pane insulating windows can reduce the need for heating and cooling.

When traveling short distances, first consider public transportation. If that is not an option, consider purchasing a used compact car for routine travel or a hybrid for even greater efficiency.

There are many more ways to reduce your demand for energy, get creative, and start saving energy and saving lives.
