Hap­py Earth Day! 🌍💚 Let’s cel­e­brate our beau­ti­ful plan­et by tak­ing steps to be more ener­gy effi­cient. Here are a few sim­ple ways you can save ener­gy at home:

🌱 Switch to LED Bulbs: They use up to 75% less ener­gy than tra­di­tion­al bulbs!
🌱 Unplug Devices: Save ener­gy by unplug­ging charg­ers and elec­tron­ics when not in use.
🌱 Adjust Your Ther­mo­stat: A small change in tem­per­a­ture can make a big dif­fer­ence.
🌱 Seal Leaks: Weath­er­proof doors and win­dows to keep the heat or cool air in.
🌱 Use Ener­gy-Effi­cient Appli­ances: Look for the ENERGY STAR® label when upgrad­ing.

The next time you flip a switch, please take a moment to remem­ber those who make it possible—lineworkers, who are wired for ser­vice and ded­i­cat­ed to illu­mi­nat­ing life.
