How much of an impact can one household have?

An average household might use 550 kWhrs a month. The environmental benefits of emission free sources compared to purchases from the New York State Energy Market (often called the spot market) over a year are equivalent to not driving 5860 miles or the carbon dioxide cleansing of 460 trees.

What else can I do to improve the environment?

There are many things you can do to improve the environment.

• First and foremost be energy efficient in all aspects of your life. You should try to save as much energy as you can.

• Invest in alternative forms of energy for your own home.

• An increasingly popular method gaining attention is Solar hot water systems. The sun can be used to preheat the water in your home or business. With Federal and State tax credits, pay backs can be 5 years with a system that will last 20 years. EarthKindEnergy is pleased to offer the innovative and cost effective EnerWork system.
