It's no secret the environment is suffering as a result of harmful toxins being released into the atmosphere. A big part of that is the electricity we use on a daily basis. But you can do your part and go solar so you can reduce your carbon footprint and help save the environment.

Save the Environment

The reason solar power has become increasingly popular is because people want to do their part in helping to save the earth from the damage humans are doing to it. By using solar power, you're using a renewable resource to power your home instead of the finite resource of gas or coal.

Save a Ton of Money

The idea of installing solar panels in your home may seem like a big investment, but it will pay off dozens of times over. You'll start saving money from day one. This is because you will be using the sun to power your home and you can either greatly reduce or entirely eliminate your expensive electricity bill once and for all.

Awesome Incentives

The government awards people for going solar and doing their part to help the environment. They actually offer pretty great money incentives to people who install solar panels on their home. So you are basically getting paid to save money and help save the environment!

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. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
