| According
to the Department of Energy Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy, the average American
household spends $1,600 annually on energy
bills.
Almost half of that energy
cost goes to heating and cooling your home.
Lighting and appliances represent about
a third of those costs, water heating 13%,
and home electronic products like computers,
TVs and cell phone chargers make up the
remainder.
Each of us can take action
today to reduce energy use at home, while
still staying comfortable.
It's our vision that Green Power Living
be a useful source of information in making
our homes comfortable and energy efficient,
and in reducing our impact on our environment.
