Save Money and Reduce Pollution
Nowadays, we are bombarded with propaganda about saving the environment, combating global warming, protecting the whales, trees, and all manner of wildlife and plantlife teetering precariously on the verge of extinction. All of this can be quite overwhelming and sometimes a bit sensational. However, if there were some measure of instant gratification in it for us, would we be more apt to participate?
Enter special “upgrades” you can economically perform on your home, such as fixing insulation, repairing leaky duct work, and installing solar panels and solar hot water heaters. The federal government is offering special tax credits on these approved renewable energy efficiency add-ons and renovations for residences. In addition, many utility companies are providing incentives for carrying out these upgrades.
In this time of economic blight, everyone is hard-pressed to save money where possible. We can be confident that reducing dependence on polluting fossil fuels by making our homes more energy efficient will not only put extra money in our pocket but help to protect the environment as well.
