Green Tip #28
Trees Save Energy & Keep You Cool
You could save over 20% on your air-conditioning
bill per year by planting two 25-foot shade trees on the west and
one on the east side of your home. If shade trees were planted
around just 25% of dwellings with air-conditioning, the energy
savings would be enough to shut down three coal-fired power plants.
