Ed Begley Jr. Energy Efficiency Tip #1 (VIDEO)

July 10th, 2012 by Zachary Shahan

Apparently, Ed Begley Jr. is now an Energy Upgrade CA in LA County spokesperson and is making a number of videos on energy efficiency tips. Below is the first, on cutting the vampire power and switching to energy-efficient light bulbs. I like this great line from the video: “all these accessories constantly take from you, giving you nothing in return” (when plugged in but not in use).

I think Energy Upgrade California is a great way for LA County residents to make their homes more energy efficient, healthier, and more comfortable. Homeowners can get up to $8000 in rebates and incentives to help them achieve savings of over 40%. That’s really an amazing way to do your part. www.energyupgradeCA.org/LACounty
