moreInefficient uses of energy are all around us. If every American home replaced just one light with a light that's earned the ENERGY STAR, we would save enough energy to light 3 million homes for a year, save about $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year, equivalent to those from about 800,000 cars.
It's our global responsibility to eliminate energy vampires.

You don't have to live seaside to be a part of this problem. Trash dumped anywhere can blow into creeks, streams, and rivers, and eventually be carried out to the ocean. By examining trash through a clean-up, you can uncover some of these offenders and do something about it!

moreThe average American uses 40 lbs of toxic household cleaning supplies each year. Take that number times 245 million Americans and you will understand the impact on our environment. 150 common household chemicals have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities. These toxins enter our bodies through inhalation, ingestion and contact with the skin. They also enter our waterways, and effect our animals and food sources. We can change this!
