What has made the savings….

Most people just wanted to save money

Surprising increase in interest in environment

Substantial increase in number of people who now always: turn lights off when they leave the room;

Turn the TV off at the wall;

only boil the amount of water needed; and

Set the thermostat lower.

Has been significant increase in number who feel more informed about energy efficiency in their home and their appliances.
