This Earth Day, remember that the choices we make at home can shape the future of our planet. Every light you turn off, every energy-efficient upgrade you make and every small habit you change can have a real impact—not just on your home but on the entire city. The power is in your hands.

New Orleans is a city that thrives on community. By working together, we can reduce our carbon footprint and create a cleaner, brighter future. Thousands of our neighbors are already participating in Energy Smart. Energy savings are at your fingertips, and we’re making it easy to make a difference for your home and our planet.
