Alameda Power & Telecom is partnering with the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy to encourage consumers to change to ENERGY STAR lighting products. The ENERGY STAR® Change a Light, Change the World Campaign is a challenge to all Americans to change to lighting products that have earned the ENERGY STAR-to save energy, money, and protect the environment.

• Did you know...
  • ENERGY STAR qualified lighting provides more light while using 2/3 less energy than standard incandescent lighting.
  • The average home is responsible for more air pollution than the average car.
  • ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs and fixtures last longer than standard lighting, so they save you money and help preserve our environment for future generations.
  • The average home has approximately 30 lights. By replacing the five most frequently used lights in your home with ENERGY STAR qualified lighting, you can save about $70 each year in energy costs.
  • The average household spends $1,300 each year on their energy bills. By choosing ENERGY STAR qualified products, you can cut this by 30%, saving about $400 each year.
• If one room in every US household was brightened by ENERGY STAR qualified lighting...
  • We would save more than 800 billion kWh of energy and keep one trillion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air over the lifetime of the fixtures and bulbs;
  • The change would save Americans over $3 billion annually in electricity costs;
  • Our annual energy savings alone would be equivalent to the annual output of more than 21 power plants;
  • Our annual energy savings could light more than 34 million US homes for one year;
  • The annual energy savings would be equivalent to removing more than 8 million cars from the road for one year.
• CALL-TO-ACTION: Make your next light an ENERGY STAR, and help preserve our environment for future generations.
