Program "Green savings" was initiated in April 2009. It was developed by the Czech Republic's Ministry of Environmental Affairs. The main governing body is the state fund for environmental affairs. The main objective of the program was the reduction of CO2 emmissions, encouragement of the use of renewable energy sources and the increase in energy efficiency. The program also supports the use of renewable energy sources for the purpose of heating and hot water production, as well as providing subsidies for partial or complete insulation of apartments or family homes. The program is divided into three parts which encompass Part A energy saving for the purpose of heating, Part B development in the passive energy standard and Part C the use of renewable energy sources for heating and hot water production. Subsidies are provided only to citizens of Czech Republic. By October 31st 2010, the program "Green savings" had documented 78 643 applications worth 22,53 billion Krowns. To this day, 64 136 applications have been approved, which represent 16.6 billion Krowns. Within different phases of completion were a further 14 507 applications representing 5,9 billion Krowns. The program has become very popular, and has had to be prematurely closed because the number of approved applications exceeded the program's designated financial budget. In the town of Milevsko, the program "Green savings" was most effective in Part A, primarily within the area of applications for family homes. The second most successful area was Part C. For Part B, there were no applications from the town of Milevsko. The level of financial support paid for all types of applications from Milevsko reached 38 134 708 Krowns , which is 8,27% of the total amount paid out in Czech Republic. Just as this example shows the effectiveness of the program ?Green savings? in Milevsko, this project can also help improve the overall consciousness with regard to energy saving, the use of renewable energy sources and the overall consciousness regarding the protection of the environment. If we want to improve our environment, it is important that not only do citizens change their way of thinking and their actions, but also that the State supports this new mentality with a positive momentum, for instance, such as supporting programs like "Green savings".
