Your interest in embracing energy efficiency and clean energy production comes not a moment too soon. Climate change is one of the key challenges facing worldwide sustainable development. Global warming, caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and inefficient use of energy is pushing ecosystems to the brink of catastrophic failure.

Using less energy or adopting renewable energy technologies isn't about making drastic lifestyle changes or sacrifices. Nor are these initiatives expensive or just for rural folk. In fact, energy efficiency often provides an improvement in lifestyle through lower operating costs and a more comfortable environment.

$mart Power will help you develop a new relationship with energy that will save money and the environment at the same time. Regardless of whether you rent an apartment in an old converted warehouse or have just purchased a new detachable home in the suburbs, $mart Power will provide you with the keys to an economic relationship with home energy, teaching you how to:

• Calculate your Energy Return on Investment to realize income at rates better than the stock market could ever (legally) produce!
• Reduce water consumption and water heating costs
• Inflation-proof your home against rising energy costs
• Save and earn thousands of dollars by investing in the right renewable energy technologies
• Learn about sustainable and low-pollution fuel sources for home heating and transportation

$mart Power will help homeowners like you be less vulnerable to energy price increases and supply problems. It will also show you how you can do your part in protecting the world's ecosystems. After all, if you don't get involved, who will?
