Going Green for Good: 3 Benefits of Solar Energy

In This Article:

If you want to go green you need to do more than just recycle. One of the biggest causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels. By going solar, we can greatly reduce our negative impact on the earth. Here's why you should go solar.

You'll Help the Environment

It's addressed in the title but it can't be understated: going green should mean going solar. If you truly want to limit your carbon footprint, you should consider going solar at home. This doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on a dozen solar panels. By using just one solar panel, you can reduce the amount of electricity you use which will reduce your carbon footprint. We can't expect to completely reverse climate change, but if everyone does their part by going solar, we can definitely make a big impact.

You'll Reduce or Eliminate Energy Bills

One of the biggest reasons people are turned off by going solar is they don't want to invest money in solar panels. Why spend money on installing something that you don't need? Well, what if installing solar panels will actually save you a ton of money by eliminating your energy bills? It's true! You'll start saving money right away and the solar panels will pay for themselves over and over again.

You'll Earn Tax Credits and Rebates

A lot of young adults fresh out of college may not know a lot about tax credits and rebates, so to put it simply, you'll save even more money by installing solar panels. There are tax credits and government rebates available to people who invest in solar panels, which means you'll earn money back on your tax return that'll help cover the initial cost of paying for the panels.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
