Climate Change

Concerned about climate change? Here’s what you can do

You’ve read about climate change in the news, or seen reports on TV.

From extreme hot and cold weather, to melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels — it’s no secret that climate change will affect our lives.

Big changes are coming

Things we do every day — like driving, heating our homes, or running air conditioners — are contributing to rapid changes in global temperature.

It’s enough to make you stop and think. Because the greater our greenhouse gas production—created through burning fossil fuels like oil and gas—the greater the impact on the Earth’s overall climate.

Experts suggest it’s only going to get worse. According to a report released in April, 2007, by the United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the effects over the next century will be widespread and drastic.

Protect yourself

Renovating your home protects you from future uncertainties like ...

Higher energy prices due to extreme weather affecting the fuel supply.
Higher out-of-pocket fuel costs due to regulations and taxes that increase the price of fuel.
Power outages that come along with high winds, thunderstorms, ice storms or heat emergencies.

By renovating your home to protect yourself, you’re also helping save the planet.

Fix your home, fix the planet

Home renovations are one of the best ways you can help slow climate change.

For example, by renovating your home to use less energy, you will use less fossil fuels. This reduces your home’s greenhouse gas emissions, which helps slow climate change. You can feel good knowing you’re not producing as much pollution.
