ABOUT THIS VIDEO 
There may be no better proof that a home energy-efficiency upgrade can be a win-win for homeowners, the environment and our struggling economy, than when you visit the town of Babylon, N.Y. Meet Muriel and Harold Schechtel, already living in a cozier home and seeing significant new savings thanks to their town's trailblazing Long Island Green Homes Program. Offering upgrades to residents at absolutely no upfront cost as well as creating a demand for jobs that will not be outsourced overseas, the program is proving to be a total success. Especially for residents such as the Schechtels and Rich Manning, an LIGHP energy auditor who has seen a ten-fold demand in his business since the inception of the program.
