Energy
Making choices that save energy -- in your home, business or community -- can have a positive impact on the environment while also saving you money. In this section of our website, CCE-Cattaraugus offers an array of resources that can help you learn about ways you can reduce energy consumption and use energy resources more efficiently.
Wood Stove Safety
Here are some tips for buying, installing and maintaining your wood stove, and precautions that can help you avoid having a chimney fire.
Storing Firewood
Unlike most fuels, firewood can be stored indefinitely, safely and without degrading. Learn correct storage techniques here.
Energy-Saving Lighting
Switching from incandescent to compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs can help cut home energy costs. CFLs last ten times longer than incandescent bulbs, and use less electricity.
What is EnergyStar?
Energy Star products are those that meet energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

Don't Move Firewood!
Firewood Transport Rules were revised August 2012 to improve regulatory compliance and enforcement. The existence of this regulation helps prevent firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle from being transported throughout the state, spreading the destruction of trees.
