MPS Offers "Save Energy, Save Dollars" Workshop

Workshop focuses on energy efficiency and offers free take-home tools

Turn off computers and their peripherals when not in use.  Unplug such "vampire" appliances as satellite TV systems and game stations that suck electricity, even when they are off.  Replace light bulbs with compact fluorescent or LED bulbs.  Install weather stripping on doors leading to the outside or garage. And, of course, turn down the thermostat when leaving home. 

These are just a few of the energy- and money-saving tips being given out in the free Maine Public Service workshop on saving energy and money. "There are many low- and no-cost energy-saving strategies that can save money so renters and homeowners can apply the savings to other household expenses," says Nancy Chandler, coordinator of energy conservation and education services at MPS. 

The "Save Energy, Save Dollars" workshop focuses on energy efficiency and offers such free take-home tools as fluorescent bulbs, power usage meter, refrigerator gauge, LED night light, and pipe insulation. Co-sponsored by Northern Maine Community College, the workshop takes place at NMCC’s Edmunds Conference Center, 33 Edgemont Drive, PI, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 22, 2012.  Please call Nancy Chandler for registration and more information at 760-2556.
