It's a lot easier to conserve energy these days than many people realize. One way is through the Energy Star program, a joint program between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. The idea is that everyone can save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. Today, Clark talked with a representative from the program, who said there are things people can do all year round to save energy. The first thing you should do is check out the Energy Star site, which has an interactive tool called
"Energy Star Home." It takes you step-by-step throughout the home, showing you how can save money in each room.
