At the Eugene Water & Electric Board, we’re empowering citizens with
resources to save money and energy in their homes and businesses —
like James Cupp, who proves that even the smallest change can make
a big difference. James helped his mom replace their home’s
incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that
use 75% less energy and last 10 times longer. To find out about
EWEB’s energy-saving programs for your own home, visit
eweb.org/saveenergy or call 541-685-7000. Maybe yours
will be the next powerful tale we tell.
