"Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, waterbugs, tadpoles, frogs & turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, hickory nuts, trees to climb, animals to pet, hayfields, pine cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets – and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education." -Luther Burbank 1849 - 1926

Energy Star provides energy information to save money by saving energy

According to ENERGY STAR(R), if every American home exchanged the five most frequently used bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs, one trillion pounds of greenhouse gases would be kept out of the air over the course of the bulbs' lives. That's equivalent to the annual emissions of 8 million cars, the annual output of more than 20 power plants, and $6 billion in energy savings.

Small, individual choices can make a big impact, especially when we do it together.

Energy Star is a program conducted by the EPA to protect our environment by helping businesses and individuals through developing and using superior energy efficiency.

The Energy Star symbol and program is applied to

  • PRODUCTS such as appliances, lighting, heating and cooling equipment
  • HOME IMPROVEMENTS to solve common problems such as energy costs, home sealing and air quality.
  • NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION to mmake your home energy efficient using quality energy efficient materials and techniques
  • BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT that reduces building and facility energy use

The Energy Star Web site includes many resources, including a database of Energy Star manufacturers, retailers, utility prgrams, home builders, lenders andproduct providers.
