We\u2019ve compiled five great ideas below to help motivate you to make some changes:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Enter the Solar Energy Era<\/h3>\n<p>Solar panels are the most popular form of renewable energy today. Used to generate heat, electricity, and indoor and outdoor light, if you really want to save the planet and live green, now is the time to enter the solar energy era. Since the cost of photovoltaic system panels is at an all-time low and sunlight is, by far, the most abundant energy source on earth, you\u2019re provided with plentiful renewable energy. There\u2019s no doubt, <a title=\"How Solar Power Works: The Basics\" href=\"articles\/how-solar-power-works-basics\/\">solar energy <\/a>is filling the Earth with free energy and the benefits for your <a title=\"Should You Invest In Solar Energy Technology?\" href=\"articles\/invest-solar-energy-technology\/\">business are numerous<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Charge Up Your Car<\/h3>\n<p>Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) have been around for a while (1800s, in fact) but they\u2019ve recently hit the mass market about five years ago as &#8220;modern era production electric vehicles\u201d. <a title=\"Top 10 Things You Didn\u2019t Know About Electric Vehicles\" href=\"http:\/\/energy.gov\/articles\/top-10-things-you-didn-t-know-about-electric-vehicles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EVs<\/a> are a highly efficient mode of transportation; up to 80% of the energy in the battery is transferred directly to power the car, compared with only 14-26% of the energy from gasoline-powered vehicles.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Kill the Cup<\/h3>\n<p>Commit to using \u201creal\u201d coffee cups \u2013 join the growing \u201cKill The Cup\u201d Campaign. In an effort to reduce waste from the 158 million disposable cups that are used daily in the United States, KillTheCup.com recently launched a national campaign challenging Americans to make a pledge to commit to drinking from a reusable cup this Earth Month.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Implement Sustainable Architectural Designs<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Environmental &amp; Economic Benefits of Sustainable Design\" href=\"articles\/environmental-economic-benefits-sustainable-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sustainable architectural designs<\/a> can help to reduce waste; whether you own or lease your building, you can incorporate energy and resource efficiency tips for heating, cooling, lighting and power right away. Simple things like installing programmable thermostats, using <a title=\"Architectural Daylighting\" href=\"articles\/architectural-daylighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">daylighting<\/a> to illuminate your work spaces and eliminating phantom power (known as vampire electrical loads) will all lead to a more environmentally friendly business.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Save Energy and Money with a HVAC Upgrade<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Save Energy with a Commercial HVAC Upgrade\" href=\"articles\/get-warm-save-energy-commercial-hvac-upgrade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Improving HVAC performance<\/a> saves energy and promotes a healthier, more comfortable workplace. Through commercial HVAC upgrades and improvements, Lexodant Solar Technologyuses its extensive engineering experience to design modifications to existing systems or add additional systems that will reduce energy usage and costs to operate the facility.<\/p>\n<h3>Go Green with Lexodant Solar Technology<\/h3>\n<p>The fight for a clean environment continues in a climate of increasing urgency, as the effects of climate change become more manifest every day. <a title=\"lexodant.com\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KMB<\/a> invites you to make sustainable choices for the Earth every day to build a clean, healthy world for generations to come. Use Earth Month to recommit yourself to continue to harness the power of the sun by using Solar Energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With more than one billion people around the earth celebrating Earth Month in April (this year is the 45th anniversary), you might be inspired for something new to do at [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[152,77,153,39,154,155],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Celebrating Earth Month with Solar Energy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lexodant Solar Technologyinvites you to make sustainable choices to build a clean, healthy world for generations to come;
