The 10% Challenge: Get Your Business / Organization Involved
The 10% Challenge can energize your business. Consider: every dollar not spent on energy is a dollar available for payroll, supplies, and other business needs. What's more, it's Hudson Valley businesses that bring us the products and services to improve energy performance. Investing in energy upgrades is investing in the businesses that offer them.
The 10% Challenge: Get Your Household Involved
You can do this.
Look at your electric bill. What can you turn off, turn down, put on a power strip, use only when needed...?
Look at your heating bills. An insulated, well-sealed home is a comfortable home. Sweaters are a good thing.
Look at your odometer, and recall what it was last year. Time not spent in the car is time available for life. Inflating your tires for greater fuel efficiency takes 2 minutes.
And there is help.
