After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
