April 22 — Earth Day — is like Christmas for environmentalists. Started in 1970, this annual event aims to bring the most pressing environmental issues to global awareness. Thanks to its incredible support in the past from different sectors of society, Earth Day became the catalyst for several laws that help protect Mother Nature and wildlife, such as the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Endangered Species Acts.
This year, the iconic event is set to focus on climate change. As years go by, its specter continues to spread to all corners of the globe—including America.
Although it’s impossible to completely stop the continuous emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere now — since the production of sustainable energies remains commercially unviable — something can still be done to slow down its damaging effects. And you can make a huge difference with our help.
As the recognized leader in energy-efficient patio doors and windows in Westchester, NY, Renewal by Andersen® wants to show you how to reduce your carbon footprint at home and benefit the entire community—and the world.
The Right Windows and Doors
The greatest misconception of all is believing that simply changing your windows and patio doors at home has no profound impact in slowing down climate change. The truth is, choosing home fixtures with features that help trap hot and cool air inside the house can decrease your energy consumption.
More than Just Savings
If you think switching to Westchester windows and patio doors will lower your electric bill, then you’d be right. That’s not all, however. Coal burning makes the generation of electricity a major contributor to climate change. A fossil fuel like coal adds to carbon overload in the atmosphere, which slowly but surely makes the world warmer.
That in mind, reduced electricity usage results in less coal being burned to meet demands. Embracing the principle of energy efficiency at home is a big step to reducing your household’s demand for electricity.
Make Earth Day Every Day
If you have an energy-efficient Westchester window and patio door installed, you’re essentially making Earth Day last all year long. Some people participate by switching their electricity off for an hour, but the potential environmental benefits of having energy-efficient home fixtures can last for many years.
At Renewal by Andersen, we take pride in making sure our windows and patio doors outlast and outperform our contemporaries on the market. For more details about our revolutionary products or questions about our services, give us a call at (866) 609-5033 for more information.
