California has set a goal of becoming green by 2045—carbon neutral, and energy independent. This is an ambitious endeavor for any state, let alone one that has roughly 40 million people. We are all going to need to do our part to make a difference.
So what are the biggest problem areas? Turns out, they are closer than you think.
California buildings—and this means homes—are responsible for more than a quarter of all statewide greenhouse gas emissions. That’s right: our homes rank just behind cars as the single largest source of pollution in the state. Simply put, we can’t meet our climate goals without addressing emissions from our buildings.
By introducing clean electric appliances into our lives, we can remove greenhouse gas emissions, make our homes warmer, healthier, and just generally better. Better for you. Better for the state. Better for the planet.
Like a win-win-win. And you can make it happen.
