Here's what YOU can do!

  • Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
  • Use Green Power!
  • Change Your Lights to
    CFLs and LEDs!
  • Use ENERGY STAR Products!
  • Heat and Cool Efficiently!
  • Unplug Appliances You're
    Not Using!

If every home in America replaced just one light bulb with a Compact Flourescent Lamp (CFL), we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year!

That's a savings of more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and also prevents the release of greenhouse gasses equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars!

Natural gas burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels, and it has fewer emissions of sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen than coal or oil. When it is burned, it leaves almost no ash particles.

Being a clean fuel is one reason that the use of natural gas, especially for electricity generation, has grown so much and is expected to grow even more in the future.

Save money and
keep warm this winter!

Make sure your heating system is in good working order. If you are ready to replace it, look for high efficiency natural gas heaters and boilers. Rebates are available from New Jersey's WARMAdvantage Program.

Install a programmable thermostat. Select one that is compatible with your heating and cooling system. The automatically adjusting system allows you to save energy while you are sleeping or away from your home. Set your thermostat to 68 degrees or less during the winter.

Close doors leading to unheated parts of your home. If you have a forced air system, close off vents to unused rooms. Keep filters clean.

Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows. Caulk window seams. Eliminate air leaks around windows with foam insulation, weather-stripping or storm window kits.

Turn off power sources. TVs, computers and other electronic devices draw power when they are in standby mode or turned off but still plugged in. Plug electronics into power strips and turn off the power switch when the items are not in use.

Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which use 75 percent less electricity and burn more coolly than incandescent bulbs. Keep in mind that CFLs are especially handy in hard-to-reach fixtures and won’t need to be replaced for about five years.

Use timers and motion detectors on indoor and outdoor lighting.

Use an outdoor clothing line to hang your clothes instead of using the dryer. There are plenty of sunny, mild days during Spring and Fall.
