Join with people around the globe June 5 to celebrate World Environment Day, a day dedicated to positive environmental action. Since its inception in 1972, the United Nations Environment Programme has spurred awareness about global environmental issues. No matter you spot on the globe, you can take part and ensure a greener, brighter tomorrow for people now and for generations to come. . . .

While you are waiting in the terminal with your flip-flops on, you suddenly remember you didn’t change the thermostat. Now while you are on vacation, your home will be heating and cooling itself as if the whole family is there to enjoy it. Sadly, only the houseplants will feel the cool air conditioning.

This scenario plays out differently if you invest in a smart thermostat. With a smart thermostat, your paradise daydreams are only interrupted for a few minutes. Once you realize your thermostat mistake, you can simply pull up your thermostat on your smartphone and switch the device to vacation mode. After it’s switched, you can go back to vacation without any worries. All because of a smart thermostat, you have peace of mind and a more energy-efficient home. . . .
