Why reduce the carbon footprint?
1. Save $
2. Reduce asthma and heart disease
3. Energy security
4. Slow down climate change
5. Save Appalachian mountains
6. Green jobs
![Page 7: Working together for smart, clean energy All Affiliates ...Working together for smart, clean energy All‐Affiliates Conference March 26, 2010](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051607/6031ab0f85799e54e86c1d34/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1 kilowatt hour = 10 cents
1,000 kilowatt hours = $100
One light bulb saves $50+
1998-2006: Roanoke Co. schools avoided over $4.6 million in utility costs
1. Save $

3. Energy security
U.S. has 2% of the world’s oil reserves
U.S. uses 25% of the world’s annual production
