If you haven't heard of the New Hampshire Carbon Challenge, it's worth checking out:
The program's goal is to "educate, inspire and support sustained reductions in residential energy consumption."
One of the best things about the website, http://carbonchallenge.sr.unh.edu, is its New England Carbon Estimator: http://carbonchallenge.sr.unh.edu/calculator.jsp.
It takes only 10 to 15 minutes to use the Carbon Estimator and take the challenge, but according to the site, the people who do save an average of $751 per household per year. That seems like reason enough!
The Carbon Estimator helps you select actions to reduce your energy usage and also estimates what you might expect to save. Carbon Challenge takers have saved a total of $1,344,425 so far, according to the site.

We are so excited about the potential energy and carbon savings that will be the measurable result of the NH Carbon Challenge. Changing out incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescent (cfl) bulbs is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to reduce energy and emissions--not to mention reduce monthly electric bills.
Our Concord based web business, www.GreenPoma.com offers energy efficient light bulbs and other products chosen to help homeowners reduce their electricity use and bills.
To help our friends and neighbors make greener choices, we are offering 20% off all purchases to anyone participating the the NH Carbon challenge.
