Buy Green
What we choose to buy and consume plays a large role in the energy we use and the greenhouse gases we emit. By becoming more environmentally-conscious consumers, we can reduce our impact on the environment.
For example, appliances and products that feature the blue ENERGY STAR label are among the most energy efficient in their class. By using ENERGY STAR qualified appliances and products, Americans cut the country's overall electricity use by nearly 5% in 2006 and saved an estimated $14 billion in energy costs. Increasingly, manufacturers and retailers are learning that consumers will purchase products and services that use less energy and produce less greenhouse gas emissions if given the option to do so. By committing to learn about, purchase, and use products that limit the harm to our environment, we can make a small but important difference in the battle against global warming, climate change, and energy independence. In addition, you can use your buying power to encourage retailers and manufacturers to produce and sell more environmentally-responsible products. Citizens Energy has partnered with Energy Federation Incorporated to offer members of Citizens Unite the opportunity to purchase energy efficient products online at a 10% discount.
