Incentives to Purchase Energy Star

In addition to encouraging individuals to use energy efficient light bulbs, Marple Township in Pennsylvania announced that they would wave collection fees on old appliances for residents who replace major appliances with an Energy Star appliance.

They have also made watt meters available at their library for residents to check out and test the energy use of their own appliances.

This Township of 24,000 residents has a lot of good ideas and has powered their traffic lights with 100% renewable energy sources since 2004.
