Electricity
Though electricity itself is not a source of greenhouse gas emissions, the combustion of fuels used to generate electricity – such as coal, natural gas, and oil – results in substantial emissions. In aFewSteps’ community, 20% of greenhouse gas emissions comes from electricity usage in our homes. The biggest household users of electricity are air conditioning, lighting, refrigerators, and furnace fans.
