Peter Facinelli Talks About Going Green For Energy Awareness Month

peter1011.jpg

October is Energy Awareness Month and eco-friendly actor Peter Facinelli, best known for his roles as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in Twilight and as Dr. Fitch Cooper in Nurse Jackie, stopped by to talk with us about MasterCard and Home Depot's tips on how everyone can be more environmentally friendly.

Peter, his wife Jennie Garth and their three children take pride in being green. Families living in Energy Star qualified homes will save more than $270 million this year on utility bills – approximately $700 per household – while avoiding greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 370,000 vehicles.

During the month of October, Home Depot consumers who use their MasterCard now through October 31 to buy ENERGY STAR appliances – refrigerators, clothes washers, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, water heaters – 10 percent of the proceeds from those purchases will benefit Habitat for Humanity, up to $1 million.
