  • sustainable energy :)

    I recently found out about an incredibly environmental window company. Yes, windows. As most people are unaware, 40% of all of the United State's energy consumption is from households. Clear Choice USA windows help reduce this number by 40%. They use a type of glass with Low-emissivity (a.k.a. Low-E) for their windows. Low-E is virtually invisible, and contains silver, zinc oxide, and silicone. This helps reflect a significant of radiant heat, therefore saving energy for you and the environment. The average household has 9 windows, costing about $3,000 to install Clear Choice windows for an entire house. The average person pays around $2,500 on an electricity and gas for their household. Having Clear Choice windows installed in your house will save YOU 30% on your electricity bill. Why not save yourself money, and help the environment tremendously while you're at it? These windows make a bigger difference than you may think. To learn more go to http://www.clearchoice-usa.com. Think globally, act locally!
