Community Conservation Days are aimed at increasing customer awareness of energy conservation measures. Reducing energy consumption can save customers money on their utility bills and also help them to reduce their “carbon footprint,” which refers to an individual’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
Our first Community Conservation Day was so well received by the public that we thought it would be a good idea to do them on a monthly basis. With the economy currently in a downturn, it is even more important for all of us to practice energy conservation in our homes.
We want to encourage our customers to think about energy conservation. Friday MATA busses were in front of each MLGW community office from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to show MLGW customers how to save on their utility bill. The free seminars, the first of several Community Conservation Days the utility has scheduled for 2009, educated customers about saving energy and lowering their utility bills.
Those attending one of two hour-long energy workshops aboard the bus received a special energy conservation kit valued at more than $40. Energy saving brochures and information were also available to customers unable to attend the workshops. MLGW employees were also on hand to answer questions regarding energy conservation.
