Protect Energy Efficiency, Save Money, and Defend Our Environment

The Energy Star program, established in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has been a beacon of voluntary energy efficiency for over three decades. Its mission is simple yet powerful: to help consumers, businesses, and industries save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.

This program is not a mandate. Participation is entirely voluntary, empowering manufacturers to innovate and meet high standards while giving consumers the freedom to choose products that save energy and reduce costs. Thanks to Energy Star, American families and businesses have saved over $450 billion on utility bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions significantly.

Now, this vital program faces the threat of budget cuts that could undermine its effectiveness and longevity. Eliminating or weakening Energy Star would not only increase household energy costs but also burden taxpayers as government agencies would need to develop costlier alternatives.

We need your voice.

Protect the Energy Star program by writing to your congressional representative. Urge them to protect Energy Star, emphasizing its role in:

Saving Consumers Money: Lower energy bills through efficient appliances and practices.

Reducing Taxes: Minimizing the need for government spending on energy efficiency initiatives.

Protecting the Environment: Lowering carbon emissions for a healthier planet.

Together, we can send a strong message: Energy Star is a smart, cost-effective program that benefits all Americans.
