Change A Light, Change the World Murray, UT- Murray KID Power, conducted by National Energy Foundation (NEF) in partnership with Murray City Power, is an energy awareness and conservation education program for students in Murray schools. Together NEF and Murray City Power have teamed up to help preserve our country’s energy resources and reduce the risks of global climate change by encouraging junior high students to change at least one light bulb at home to one that has earned the government’s ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency. During October, national energy month, the Change a Light, Change the World Campaign will be introduced to 520 students in Riverview and Hillcrest Junior Highs. All participating students will receive one new compact fluorescent light (CFL) to replace a standard incandescent bulb in their homes. Lighting accounts for nearly 20 percent of the average home’s electric bill and is one of the easiest, most effective places to save energy. One CFL bulb can save $30 or more in electricity costs and prevent more than 450 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. Join National Energy Foundation and partner Murray City Power
by committing to change at least one light at home this fall
to an energy-efficient one and take the ENERGY STAR Change
a Light Pledge online found at www.energystar.gov/changealight.
National Energy Foundation is a unique 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and cultivating an energy literate society through educational programs. NEF recognizes the importance and contribution of natural resources to our economy, national security, environment and quality of life. Visit www.nef1.org to find out more about NEF. ### |
