Americans Making Basic Changes to be Energy Efficient; Other Changes Not Being Done
NEW YORK — According to a Harris Poll, majorities of Americans are doing some basic things to be more energy efficient like turning off lights, televisions, or other appliances when not in use (82 percent), replacing incandescent bulbs with fluorescent ones (58 percent), using power strips (56 percent), and looking for Energy Star labels when replacing appliances (55 percent). But there are other things majorities of Americans are not doing.
These are some of the results of the poll of 2,056 adults surveyed online by Harris Interactive.
