Alliance President Kateri Callahan Shares Money-Saving Tips with the Wall Street Journal and Other News

With the hottest summer on record, your energy costs might be higher than ever. Alliance to Save Energy President Kateri Callahan spoke with the Wall Street Journal about easy green changes consumers can make to save money and help the environment.

Among the biggest energy guzzling culprits? Cracks, gaps and leaks in your home. “Often people have so many small leaks around the home that it’s the equivalent of having a three-foot by three-foot window wide open,” Callahan said. Ouch.

The Alliance also found its way into several other news outlet this week:
