Here's Today's Feel-Good Story:
A new poll shows that 3 in 5 Americans care as much about saving the environment as they do about saving money.
66% of people say that they are “willing to try anything that can help save the environment”.
Habits such as turning off the lights when leaving a room, turning off running water when possible, and showering rather than bathing to save water all contribute.
“People would be really surprised if they knew just how much energy is used throughout their homes,” said Cara Acker, senior brand manager at Bosch. “Even if people are turning off their thermostat or lights, there are still items in the home like appliances that need electricity constantly to operate. That’s why it’s so important—both for your utility bill and for the environment—to get ENERGY STAR rated appliances.”
