Being conscious of our impact on the environment is something we must do every day. Reducing our carbon imprint is imperative; this involves rethinking some of the devices we use and switching to solar power instead. A solar pool heater is one such device.

New home construction in Los Angeles has seen a sharp rise in the installation of energy-saving features like solar energy panels, but this idea has spread elsewhere.
