According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the typical American family spends more than $1600 a year on their home's
utility bills. Unfortunately, a large portion of that energy is wasted. The amount of energy wasted just through
poorly insulated windows and doors is about as much energy as we get from the Alaskan pipeline each year. By using
a few inexpensive energy-efficient measures, you could reduce your energy bills by 10 to 50 percent, and at the
same time, help reduce air pollution.
