Energy Efficiency

We want to encourage members to save energy with your actions and your purchases.

We can achieve a lot of energy conservation by our behaviors, such as turning off lights and electronics when not in use or not leaving refrigerator doors open, etc.

But the bigger gains in energy efficiency come in the decision we make as consumers. Buying LED light bulbs for example are much more energy efficient that older style incandescent bulbs. Also, buying energy efficient washing machines, dishwashers, fridges and so on makes a big difference.
