Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional energy sources like coal, petroleum and natural gas. There are many ways to reduce your carbon footprint related to electricity usage. You can choose Energy Star certified appliances which have been rated for their efficiency and reduced power consumption. Additionally you can switch to a green electricity company or start off with an energy audit of your home, looking for potential energy improvements that can save you money in the long run. Finally, if possible use public transportation instead of using your car or using an electric vehicle whenever possible - particularly efficient when charging with renewable energies!

Environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional energy sources can include renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal and biofuels; or more efficient forms of energy such as LED lighting or HVAC systems. To make an environmentally conscious decision for your home's energy supply, consider your carbon footprint today and ask questions when deciding on a sustainable energy source.
