Is your home a cause of global warming?

Few people realize that buildings contribute much more to the disaster of climate change than all the SUV's on the road combined. Failure to do simple things like insulate; upgrade windows to thermal, use programable thermostats and wear a sweater instead of cranking up the heat can make a huge difference.

While we all know we should turn off lights we are not using and not let the water run when brushing our teeth we seldom realize what an impact it has when multiplied by millions. How many of us know that we should unplug small appliances when we are not using them but we leave our computers on whether we need to or not? Small things can make a big difference!
