Solar helps our environment

The alarming effects of global warming are dominating the weather news this summer. Temperature extremes, floods, droughts and other events are motivating policymakers to do something dramatic to save our environment. We can no longer deny that global warming is here. Scientists have overwhelmingly agreed that man is causing most pollution and we can make changes today that will make a significant difference. Pollution in Asia has reached an extremely worrisome level. Urban areas in China and India are overwhelmed with pollutants as the world investigates new energy sources that are much cleaner. As people learn about climate change and other environmental concerns, they try to find ways to lessen their carbon footprint. Although daily choices might seem somewhat insignificant, the cumulative impact of the sacrifices from each person will have a positive effect on our planet. Changes need to be made now in order to help stop the pollution and protect our earth. 

Fossil fuels and solar power

There is no doubt that fossil fuels continue to pollute the earth. Every time you drive a car or use energy created by coal, harmful gasses are burned that cause noxious air. Researchers have found that harmful gases from the burning of fossil fuels are the primary cause of global warming. Even seemingly small actions such as turning out lights, or turning down the heater,  make a difference. In addition to the pollution to the environment, the overuse of fossil fuels also means these resources are only estimated to last another sixty years. What do we do then if we haven’t sufficiently transformed our power sources and consumption?

Reduce your carbon footprint with solar power

How much can we expect our carbon footprint to decrease if we switch over to a solar power system? These numbers vary depending on how much energy we use and the type of solar panels in our system. It is possible for you to reduce your CO2 footprint by as much as 80% or more by installing solar panels for your home or business. Transitioning your family to solar power means that you can turn on the air conditioner or electric heater without worrying about polluting the environment or wasting extremely limited and polluting energy resources. By installing solar, we can improve the quality of our homes, but the effort to live sustainably will create a safer, cleaner planet for future generations.

There has never been a better time to install a solar energy system!
