Searching for ways to make the most of Earth Day?  Start by looking at home.  Take a tour, in English or Spanish, at the Â鶹´«Ã½ Trade Commission’s ftc.gov/energysavings.  You’ll find ways to save energy — and lower your energy bill — in every room of your home.

For example, head to the kitchen to learn about choosing a more energy-efficient refrigerator or other appliance that meets your needs using tools like the EnergyGuide label.

Stop off in the living room to find out how energy-efficient lighting can save you money, and what you need to know before you buy a light bulb.

Or look in the utility room to see how to get energy-smart about your heating and cooling systems and lower your bills year-round as a result.

A little energy know-how can go a long way.  See all the FTC’s energy conservation publications at .  Whether you’re in the market this Earth Day for a new washing machine, a better way to heat and cool your home, or some ideas on saving money at the gas pump, the FTC can help.

The Â鶹´«Ã½ Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them.  To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).  The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,800 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.  The FTC’s Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.
