25% of home energy is used for lighting and Americans consume large amounts of oil daily, much of which is used to produce electricity. While only 5% of electricity comes from renewable sources currently, switching to LED lights and more efficient windows can help reduce energy use at home. Adopting more renewable energy resources like solar and hydro power would also help save energy.

1. SAVING ENERGY IS ONE BRIGHT IDEA!
25% of the average home energy budget is from electric lighting.
Americans consume 6.87 billion barrels of oil per day!
39% of America’s energy is for making electricity!
Electricity is created by burning fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, and
oil which affects air pollution and the ozone layer.
In 2012 Only 5% of electricity was produced by solar power, wind
power, or other renewable sources!
We can save energy by switching to LED lights, or replacing window panes with efficiency windows to cut
down on heating and electricity.
We should also try to adapt more reusable energy resources like solar or hydro power.
