CUB Energy Project
CUB Energy Project
For the entire year of 2011, the Big Seven Evanston employers are competing to see which team can get the most members and which team can save the most energy.
The Big 7 are Evanston Township High School employees, NorthShore University HealthSystem, City of Evanston Employees, Rotary Energy EconoMisers, St. Francis Hospital, Northwestern University Employees and School District 65 employees.
Each one of these teams is going to be using CubEnergySaver.com, 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 actually rewards families with movie tickets, gift cards, museum passes, and other items for documented reductions in their electricity usage.
Get Involved
All you need to sign up is a ComEd account which you can link to your CUB account. Clicking here will take you the signup page, and once you are done signing up, you will be able to see the direct impact of your efforts to reduce energy use in your home and help contribute to Evanston's goal of reducing overall energy use by 5 percent.
Rewards
Two winning teams will be chosen at the end of the contest, which has been extended to March 1, 2012.
- The team with the most members.
- The team that saved the most energy.
One member from each of these teams will be randomly selected to recieve free electricity for an entire year!
Additional Help
If you need additional help, visit the Evanston Main Library at 1703 Orrington Avenue and ask any of the librarians for assistance. Be sure to also visit to recieve a free CFL light bulb!
