PSE Offers Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint This Earth Month

Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is taking proactive steps this Earth Month to assist customers in minimizing their carbon footprint through several energy efficiency initiatives. One of the primary suggestions is the transition to LED lighting, which is not only more energy-efficient but also devoid of toxic elements found in some traditional bulbs. For those preparing for summer heat, PSE recommends ductless heat pump systems as a superior alternative to conventional air conditioning units, utilizing 25 to 50 percent less energy. Water conservation is another essential focus, with PSE promoting the use of WaterSense labeled showerheads and aerators to enhance water and energy savings. Customers can also benefit from complimentary home energy assessments, where certified professionals provide tailored advice on reducing energy bills and identifying upgrade opportunities. To further support sustainable energy practices, PSE encourages participation in renewable programs like Green Power and Solar Choice, allowing customers to invest in clean energy sources. Each initiative represents a tangible step toward environmental preservation for future generations, emphasizing the importance of collective responsibility in energy consumption. By working together, PSE aims to foster a more sustainable energy future.
