Energy & Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Why conserve energy?

Although we are increasingly producing energy from renewable sources like water, the sun and wind, more than 90% of the world's energy still comes from non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. And, burning fossil fuels releases enormous quantities of greenhouse gases, causing global warming and climate change, which puts us, and future generations at risk.

Whether your motivation for conserving energy is to save money, or reduce your impact on the environment, it just makes good sense.
