Adopt Sustainable Practices

In celebration of Earth Day, we encourage homeowners everywhere to help our planet by adopting sustainable practices such as water and energy conservation.   

By fully adopting water-efficient products and practices, the average household can save approximately 30,000 gallons of water annually. 
                                                                                                                       


What's more, if just one of every 100 homes in the U.S. installed new energy saving fixtures, we could reduce our electricity consumption by 100 million kilowatts. That's equivalent to taking 15,000 cars off the road for a year. So take an easy first step towards conservation with eco-friendly fixtures.
