2. Energy Efficient Light Bulb • Fluorescent Lights • Incandescent light bulbs consume a lot of energy and are costly • If you have at least four, 100-watt incandescent bulbs that burn four or more hours a day in your home, the Alliance To Save Energy recommends replacing them with 23-watt fluorescent bulbs. • Compact fluorescent bulbs use only a quarter of the energy of typical light bulbs, last 10 times longer and lower utility bills. • Replacing just four incandescent bulbs with fluorescent light bulbs will save about 454 kilowatt hours of electricity, a savings of $82 over three years. 10 simple ways to go green

4. Insulation • Insulate to sustain temperature more efficiently • Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. • Inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes. Insulation: • a. Saves money and our nation's limited energy resources • b. Makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house • c. Makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. 10 simple ways to go green Go Energy Star House Insulation
