Horning in on My Time…
Sitting in my office today, minding my own business, opening the mail and processing same…and lo-and-behold I find an piece of information tucked discreetly into one of our clients Austin Energy bill.
Change a Light, Change the World. TAKE THE PLEDGE!
 Wait a minute, I thought that was my line! At any rate, here is what the information has to say…
“Austin Energy, in partnership with the U. S. Department of Energy, is participating in the national Change a Light, Change the World Campaign during the month of October. Visit www.energystar.govand take the “Change a Light Pledge.” Commit to changing out one incandescent light bulb in your home to an ENERGY STAR® Compact Fluorescnet Light (CFL) bulb. Replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb with a 13, 14, or 15-watt CFL.
SAVE MONEY:Â A CFL uses about 75% less energy and lasts 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb.
HELP THE ENVIRONMENT: Use CFLs to help reduce green-house emissions. While you’re at it, sign up to be a Power Saver Volunteer at www.austinenergy.com!
$2.00-OFF COUPONS: All Austin area Home Depot, H-E-B and Light Bulb Shop locations provide Austin Energy discount coupons worth $2.00 off the purchase of ENERGY STAR® CFLs.”
It is a great message, and, okay…maybe they had the ‘Take the Pledge’ thought first…I think they have to develop these information pieces months in advance to get them produced and approved. So, I guess great minds just think alike.
Do you think like we do? Change a Light Bulb, KEEP AUSTIN PROUD!
