Conservation and Energy Efficiency
Energy conservation and efficiency is not only good for the environment, it helps extend the life of non-renewable resources, reduce the overall costs of energy systems, and saves you, the consumer, on your monthly utility statement.
The choices we make in our everyday lives can have positive or negative effects on the environment. With small changes, we can have a big impact on the amount of resources we consume and ultimately pay for.
