Energy efficiency guru Amory
Lovins helped capture this idea with the term "Negawatts"
for energy that does not have to be used thanks to efficiency and conservation
measures. While technology has made great strides to create ever
more efficient electrical devices, the rest of this problem can
only be solved by changing our behavior as well as our light
bulbs.
You can help spread this message - and change our electricity-consuming
behavior - by going to www.cafepress.com/cutthejuice
to purchase a few of these items:
- Light Switch Covers
- Stickers to place over existing light switch covers
- T-Shirts
- Hats
- (more items to come)
Place them "strategically" throughout your home, workplace,
place of worship, community center, or any other place where you might
have some influence over the lights.
Please contact me directly ( 303-762-8547 / phil@pvhccc.com
) to make bulk purchases of fifteen (15) or more of one item at a time
... big discounts when you order in bulk!
My immediate goal for this campaign is to get people to save on their
energy costs in the easiest possible way. Once more people adopt this
behavior, one of my longer-term goals would be to make people more aware
of their overall energy-consuming behavior (beyond merely turning off
lights). Ultimately, I hope this message will indeed "help clear
the air," especially in the form of reduced power plant emissions.
So the next time you're the last person to leave a room, and you can't
think of any good reason to leave those lights on, take just a few extra
seconds to do the right thing for your electric bill, our nation's power
supplies, and our Environment:
Not
in Use?
Then
CUT THE
JUICE!
Thanks,
and Many Happy Returns
on Your Energy Savings!
