Information:

An average Canadian home has 30 light fixtures that consume close to $200 worth of electricity every year. Replacing just five bulbs with ENERGY STAR® qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs in areas that require more than three hours of light a day saves approximately $30 a year.
 


Developed by the Pembina
Institute, the One Less Tonne tool allows you to calculate typical greenhouse
gas emission reductions (and energy cost savings) associated with actions. The average Canadian household emits 13
tonnes of greenhouse gas annually. See
if you can reduce your emissions and increase your savings by making some
