Tip 29 - Stay Active |
| We've discussed how you can help save the Earth by using energy wisely. There's another kind of energy you can use to protect the environment -- your own. If you haven't already taken steps to make your life and home more energy-efficient, it's a good time to begin. Start small, tackling one or two tasks at a time. Call City Light's Conservation Help Line for residential customers at 206-684-3800 to find how we can help. Then look outside the home. Here are the names and addresses of a few groups that have taken an active role in energy conservation issues. They all depend on citizens like you to pitch in. Whether you're using your energy to save energy in your home or in your community, your efforts do make a difference. |
