Climate action – it’s up to all of us! Big or small, every action counts.
DYK?
Switch off, turn down, unplug, and close are great ways to
- Use resources well
- Reduce impact on the climate
- Be a climate activist
Just taking a few moments to turn off lights and devices, unplug things that don’t need to be running over the holidays, and closing blinds/curtains adds up! How much? Enough to power multiple homes for a month. Really!
Take a little time to fill in a holiday shutdown list, and we'll crunch the numbers to show estimated energy avoidance.
We want to show some appreciation for your climate action virtuosity!
Fill in and submit a holiday shutdown checklist will get you entered into a draw for some fun prizes.
