If every household in the U.S. replaced one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light (CFL), it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road. CFLs provide high-quality light, smart technology, and design, requiring less energy while lasting longer than typical incandescent bulbs.
For the price of a couple caffe lattes, homeowners can help the country save millions by each replacing just one incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb. ENERGY STAR qualified lighting uses up to 66 percent less energy and lasts up to 10 times longer than incandescent lighting, which means fewer replacements and more caffe lattes in the future.
Appliances
Only run washing machines, dryers and dishwashers when you have a full load in order to save water and energy. Turn off computers and office equipment.
Switch to ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances. ENERGY STAR-qualified products incorporate advanced technologies that use 10 to 50 percent less energy and water than standard models.
