There a little steps everyone can take into creating a more energy efficient environment. From little things like turning off the lights to building energy efficient homes we can change a lot.

For smaller projects such as changing appliances from light bulbs to refrigerators it is more efficient to use Energy Star certified products. These appliances have been certified to save money and be more environmental friendly. They have been proven to save up to 30% on electricity bills. Also for the smaller things like energy efficient light bulbs, they will save one 30% to 80% on electricity bills compared to regular light bulbs. (How Can I Be More Energy Efficient?) Light bulbs may seem like a minor change, but in the long run they save a lot of money.

Every little step could make a big change if everyone contributes.
