Now is the Time to Save the Planet

Our scientists and government agencies are making increasingly dire predictions of the effects of climate change on our health, economy, and environment. Many local governments are taking the threat seriously and planning for resilience, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and adding renewable energy. And even though the pace is still too slow, our electric grid is greening year by year. 

While policy is necessary to minimize the effects of climate change, we can do our part in our own homes and save on our bills in the process. Energy efficiency and electrification are the two most important measures individual households can take. 

ener-G-save tip for December: Light up the Dark with LEDs

A holiday tip from ener-G-save: Switch to LED lights. Outside or inside, LED string lights will shine brighter and last ten times longer than outdated incandescent lights. Worried about the bright white normally associated with LEDs? LED lights come in a variety of colors, including a “warm white” for that old-time holiday glow. LEDs are also safer than incandescent lights because they operate at much lower temperatures. They’re less expensive, too—using a LED lamp over the holidays will cost you an estimated $0.45, compared to $5 for mini incandescent string lights and $75 for large incandescent string lights!
