Changing a few
everyday habits can change the size of your carbon footprint. Little steps add
up over time, like growing some of your own vegetables or nudging your thermostat up a degree or two on summer evenings.
Using the sun's
power can help reduce the greenhouse gases needed to run your home comfortably,
as well as your utility bills. That may mean adding skylights or installing an
air conditioner or heat pump that is solar-ready, like the new SunSource™
Home Energy System from Lennox. These systems use roof-mounted solar
modules to harness clean, sustainable energy from the sun and use it to run the
home's central cooling and heating system.

Protection Agency. The Energy Savings Calculator from Lennox can show
you other ways to walk more lightly on the earth.
