The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is launching a new national campaign to encourage Americans to help protect the environment by changing today to energy efficient products and practices. Energy efficiency is important to our country. It can help preserve our natural resources, reduce foreign oil imports, save us billions of dollars, clean our air, and protect our planet for future generations. 
Our message is an easy one. Look to ENERGY STAR to make a change. By using ENERGY STAR to increase energy efficiency at home and at work, each of us can make an enormous difference now and for the future. Millions of Americans are already embracing change. More than 630 million products with the ENERGY STAR have been purchased to date and thousands of companies are working with EPA to adopt more energy efficient practices. Last year alone, ENERGY STAR helped save enough energy to power ten million homes and reduce air pollution equivalent to taking ten million cars off the road -- all this for the environment while also saving Americans $5 billion on their energy bills without sacrificing product features, quality or personal comfort. But we have only begun to tap the energy efficiency potential of this country. Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment. Please join us in making a change. |
