Take EPA's ENERGY STAR® Pledge to Fight Global Warming!

Join the movement to fight global warming! Take the ENERGY STAR Pledge at www.energystar.gov/changetheworld

The Pledge encourages people to:

- Change at least one light bulb in the home to an energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulb
- Make home heating and cooling systems work more efficiently
- Make sure homes are well-sealed and insulated
- Enable the power management features on home computers and monitors
- Choose an ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator, dishwasher, and/or clothes washer when purchasing new appliances

If every U.S. household took part in the pledge, we would save more than $18 billion in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 18 million cars!

1. Inspire people to make simple changes at home to save energy, money, & help fight global warming by taking the pledge at energystar.gov/changetheworld

2. Gather stories from regular people about how they have done their part to save energy at home

3. Raise awareness about the difference we can make for our environment by looking for the ENERGY STAR when we choose products for our homes and offices

4. ENERGY STAR helps each of us fight global warming by reducing our energy use through energy efficiency

5. ENERGY STAR is a program of the U.S. EPA and the U.S. DOE
