Earth Day is important because it serves as a global reminder to protect the planet and address environmental issues that affect all of us. Earth Day is the perfect time to take action, whether big or small. Here are some meaningful ways people can help the planet on Earth Day (and ideally, every day!):

Energy Saving Tips to Celebrate Earth Day! 

• Replace lightbulbs with LED bulbs, which consume less power while maintaining brightness. 
• Utilize solar-powered outdoor lights for pathways, sidewalks, and floodlighting. 
• Open blinds and windows for natural light and turn off lights when not in use.
• Handwashing small loads of dishes in the sink reduces the electrical energy load used to run the dishwasher.
• Hang dry clothing on warm days to reduce the electrical load in the home.
• Unplugging your coffee pot and other household electronics can save energy.
• Install a smart thermostat and program it to adjust to your daily routine. Lowering temperatures when you are not home or asleep is an ideal time to save energy while still staying comfortable.
• Regularly maintain and inspect your electrical devices.
• Replacement or repair of broken electrical components. Checking to make sure that all electrical items are in proper working order will help reduce unwanted energy drain and keep your home safe.
