Buying energy-efficient appliances is another easy way to “go green.” The Energy Star eco-label,  a joint program of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy,  makes it easier.  By choosing or specifying Energy Star qualified appliances for all applicable appliance purchases, you can reduce electricity use and costs by 30%,  and reduce green-house gas (GHG) emissions significantly.   Click on each of the links below to learn more about the environmental issues, city contracts, EPP specification contract language, and other available resources.
