Energy Efficiency
Follow that star - Energy Star. Products that are ENERGY STAR qualified use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. The more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of climate change. Using less energy also means less expense for you in the long run!

Overall Sustainability
Slip, slop, slap. Slop on the sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more, slap on a hat to protect your face, and slip out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Take the initiative this summer to protect yourself from skin cancer! Examine your skin head-to-toe every month and see your doctor for a professional skin check.
