Summer Tips - For Sustainability
GO LITE ON LIGHTING - Lighting the average American home generates about two-thirds of a ton of greenhouse gases each year and consumes 20 percent of the average household's electricity bill.

Transition light bulbs to compact florescent bulbs (CFLs), which pay for themselves in less than a year, and turn off lights when not in a room (visit www.pge.com/res/rebates/energy_tools_resources)
