Financial Aid Help Saturday
You don’t have to save the world.
Just turn the bathroom lights off.
If we all make simple changes, we can make a big impact. Turning off lights when you
leave a room is a good start. You can also install energy-saving compact fluorescent
light bulbs, lower your thermostat, replace energy-craving appliances with ENERGY
STAR ' appliances and much more. You’ll save energy, money and you'll be doing
your part. You'll find plenty of energy-saving answers at pacificpower.net
