Take the Plunge, Make a Pledge, and Get Into Energy Conservation!

On Day 3, you spent some time with the ENERGY STAR@Home interactive tool, and made some changes around your home. Hopefully, you're seeing how easy it is to cut your energy use, and even challenging yourself to find other ways to put a dent in your utility bills.

Of course, it's always easier to keep these kinds of commitments if you share them with others - that's part of the thinking behind the Green Living Journal. For seven years, the ENERGY STAR program has also offered an opportunity to make a public commitment to lowering your energy use: The ENERGY STAR "Change a Light, Change the World" campaign. It's a simple idea: you simply pledge to change one light bulb in your home to one that's ENERGY STAR-qualified. Then, of course, you do it!

If you want to get into this effort even more, take a look at the campaign's community page. See which states and organizations are leading the way in pledges, read success stories by participants (or submit your own), and listen to a podcast on the 2006 Change a Light Day event.

Your Action for Today:
Take the Pledge

Take the pledge to change a bulb (and change the world), and do it! If you want to find out more about ENERGY STAR qualifications for lighting and fixtures, check out these sections of The Green Life Guide.

Tomorrow: Driving green

Sincerely,

The GO Team
