For a Greener America
If not now, when? If not us, then who? It’s our planet and the planet we’re leaving to our children. That’s why we, as a group, are dedicated to taking a personal responsibility for protecting our planet’s natural resources through the use of solar energy-producing building products. It’s not just a moral responsibility. It’s a patriotic responsibility to build a greener America.

Some experts say there are only 30-50 years left to save our planet. That’s shocking. This could mean in our lifetime, or our children’s – but for sure our grandchildren’s lifetime – we could see the irreversible result of our collective neglect.
We can no longer afford to stay uninvolved.
Each one of us creates a carbon footprint – how much carbon dioxide we produce through living. Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas behind global warming.
Using fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal sends carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat. It is estimated that the average American emits 9.44 tons of carbon dioxide a year.
The impact of our lifestyle choices affects our environment. Frogs are one early indicator. Their thin skin absorbs air and water. When the environment is sick, frogs react. Today, entire frog populations have been wiped out. They are diseased, born deformed and dying in record numbers.
There are choices we each can make to reduce our personal carbon footprint. For example, we can recycle, drive less, carpool more and take a serious interest in saving energy and using clean, renewable energy sources.
For over 40 years, TEMO products such as sunrooms and pavilions allow us to appreciate nature’s gifts. Our respect for nature also means that we use earth-friendly materials that are health safe, recyclable and durable so they stay out of landfills. Now, we have added a unique solar energy system.
TEMO formed the American Solar Alliance to make a commitment to our planet. Our members are home improvement companies across the nation that shares our dedication to solar energy as one solution to our planet’s problems.
The US government supports solar energy initiatives with sizeable incentives to encourage Americans to act now. We believe it is our moral responsibility and patriotic duty to participate. Please join us. Time may be running out to leave a sustainable earth to our children.
