GREEN HOMES AND BUILDINGS

Weatherize your home by adding isolation. Heating and cooling consume about 40 percent of energy in your home.

Buy energy-efficient appliances (look for the Energy Star label).  

Replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs.  

Compact fluorescent bulbs can last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.  Compact fluorescent lights lower your energy bills and keep a half-ton of carbon dioxide out of the air.
