The Green

In an effort to expand people's consciousness on green topics, Sundance Channel is happy to promote the activities of Energy Star and The Environmental Protection Agency. We hope you enjoy the video and think it is great that Energy Star is making it easier for every day Americans to learn about the green lifestyle choices that can make the world a cleaner place.



Most people don’t realize that by making simple changes in their homes they can collectively make a big impact on the environment and help fight global warming. The typical household spends $1,900 a year on energy bills and as much as half of this energy goes toward heating and cooling the home. For the podcast, EPA enlisted the help of home improvement expert Tom Kraeutler (co-host of the nationally syndicated home improvement radio show, The Money Pit) to create a 4-minute ENERGY STAR videocast.

The ENERGY STAR videocast takes you on a room-by-room tour offering energy-saving tips. From changing your five most used light bulbs to energy saver bulbs to installing a ceiling fan, taking a few simple steps today can help protect the environment from the risks of global warming. Tom hosts the videocast and walks viewers through ENERGY STAR Home [www.energystar.gov], an interactive tool which provides energy-saving tips and advice for the entire house.
