Summit County Energy Tips • The average home produces twice as much greenhouse gas pollution as the average car! Due to emissions produced by power plants that generate the electricity used to run modern homes -- plus home emissions from such things as oil or gas-fired furnaces -- an average house releases 22,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually compared to a typical car’s 11,500 pounds of CO2, estimates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). • If every household in the U.S. replaced just one fixture with an Energy Star qualified model, it would save more than 8 billion kilowatts --equivalent to removing 1 million cars from the road per year! • Refrigerators in the U.S. alone use the equivalent of the output of about 60, 300-MW power plants. If all the nation’s households used the most efficient refrigerators, electricity savings would eliminate the need for about 30 power plants. • Each year, Americans spend more money to power home audio and DVD products when turned off than when actually in use (unplug when not in use). • Turning off your computer during long periods of non-use cuts costs and improves longevity. • Not only is energy efficiency easy, it saves you money, makes your home more comfortable, and it decreases pollution
