City Giving Out Free CFL Light Bulbs in Conjunction with Energy Saver Program
A year ago this month, the City of Evanston was named the winner of the Citizens Utility Board's Energy Saver Community Competition for having signed up the most members for CUBenergysaver.com and having realized the most electricity savings in 2010. The prize was 10,000 Compact Florescent Lights (CFL). To mark this one year anniversary and to encourage more residents to sign up for the program, the city will be giving out two free CFLs to Evanston Residents.
CUBenergysaver.com is the nation's first free online service that gives households a plan to save hundreds of dollars a year, tracks savings by connecting to power bills and rewards families with movie tickets, gift cards, museum passes and other items for documented reductions in their electricity usage.
Residents can pick-up their two free CFLs and sign-up for the program, if they have not already, at the Main Public Library located at 1703 Orrington Ave. (at the circulation desk or The Loft) or at the Levy Senior Center located at 300 Dodge Ave. until March 1, 2012.
