Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22nd, and it's a great time to get involved, and to learn about and do more for the environment. If you're curious about how you can save energy—or learn more about the energy you use—EERE has tons of resources, tips, and ideas for you.

The Energy Savers blog is updated throughout the week with information about energy efficiency and renewable energy that we can all use at home and throughout our lives. Feel free to join in the conversation, leave a comment, and read along!

The Federal Energy Management Program's annual Earth Day program includes resources that encourage everyone to look at energy efficiency as a pathway to "new energy for America." The campaign includes posters, computer monitor calendars, bookmarks and magnets.

These games and activities teach kids how to save energy at home.
