Strategies to Reduce Household Energy Use and Carbon Emissions

Households emit an average of 22,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually from energy consumption, which is about double that of a typical car. To combat this, implementing strategies such as energy-efficient appliances and low-cost water-saving devices is essential. Investment ranges from $400 to $15,000, depending on the interventions and payback periods, with potential savings of up to 34.2%. This guide offers practical tips and resources for reducing energy and water use, creating a more sustainable home environment.
