- Climate Smart – If you’re a PG&E customer you can pay a small monthly fee (around $5) to offset the CO2 emissions associated with your energy use.
- If you need new appliances or electronics purchase Energy Star products.
- Solar electricity/solar hot water. Okay, admittedly this might not be a reasonable investment for everyone but keep in mind that there are a number of utility, state, and Federal rebates and incentives for both homes and businesses.
- Use outdoor lights with a solar unit and/or motion sensor.
- Installing proper installation is one of the most critical ways to save energy. Standard pink fiberglass has formaldehyde. Check out Plenty Magazine’s Home Renovator’s Guide for alternatives.
