Interview opportunity - One-Tonne Challenge - Fall is Here...Interviews on Ways to Make Homes More Energy Efficient

The average Canadian produces five tonnes
each year of the greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change. Half of
these emissions result from home energy use for heating, cooling, water
heating, appliances and lighting.
If everyone reduced personal greenhouse gas emissions by just one tonne,
it would make a huge difference.
Fall is a busy time for home renovations and there are many things we can
do in to save energy use, save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions - all
at the same time. For instance, if every household in Canada changes just one
traditional incandescent light bulb to an ENERGY STAR(R) compact fluorescent
light, Canadians would save $73 million in energy costs every year and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 66,000 cars off the road.

Interviews are available with experts on;

- Steps to take for better home energy efficiency and savings
- Renovating for energy - the Energuide for Houses Retrofit Incentive
that provides grants for energy efficiency home improvements to
homeowners
- ENERGY STAR appliances and products that save energy and money

Interviews are now being booked. Background information and sample
questions available on request. For information about the One-Tonne Challenge,
