This week is Air Quality Awareness Week-- sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with the United States Department of Commerce.
Breathing good, decent air should be a part of daily living, but pollutants dispersing into our environment jeopardize that. Solar stands apart by keeping air cleaner and less contaminated. How does solar do that? It involves simply harnessing energy from the sun as a means of keeping electricity on in homes and across businesses that choose to use this eco-friendly source of power.
"The use of solar energy systems on buildings displaces electricity generation from coal, natural gas, and oil power plants, which can reduce air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and mercury; and greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide," says the U.S. Department of Energy.
Thankfully,
solar energy steers clear of pushing pollutants in the air and even
acts as a way to keep our days powered but without
harm leashing into the air. Clean, green energy like solar is a
sustainable choice that has unparalleled benefits for everyone in your community.
