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!
