Why Do the EPA and Eco-$mart
Care About Energy Efficient
Homes and Products?
The average home produces TWICE the
greenhouse gases generated by the average car.
Shifting 95% of the market to ENERGY STAR
Homes by 2012 is equal to removing more than 4
million cars from U.S. roads & locking in over
$100 billion of increased income!
