Together with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and Parent Teacher Organizations Today (PTO Today), EPA recently launched “Change the World, Start with Energy Star” events across the country, encouraging kids and their families to fight climate change and to make energy-efficient choices at home, at work and in their communities while saving energy and money. This year’s fall campaign also includes a national, multi-city, multimedia tour of the Energy Star Exhibit House, which showcases energy-efficient products and practices.

“We’re showing people across the country how energy efficiency can be part of what they do every day. That’s especially important for the kids, who will use these lessons to cut energy use and reduce pollution for the rest of their lives,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “Confronting climate change, saving money on our utility bills, and reducing our use of heavily-polluting energy can be as easy as making a few small changes. That’s how we change the world with Energy Star.”
