Congratulations, Will!!

This week’s raffle winner is Will, who won a Phillips LED bulb, valued at $25. This bulb is dimmable, emits white light equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent, but uses only 12.5 watts. The bulb is estimated to last 22.8 years, and will save $130.62 in electricity costs over its long life. Another great way to reduce carbon emissions and save money!

Climate Hero: John "Bucky" Perez

John’s health has improved dramatically since he began commuting about 5 miles each way to and from his workplace. He has been saving about $100 a month on gas, and actually enjoys getting to and from work these days. “After getting off work, riding my bike is a great way to unwind. It’s a good time to think too. When I get home, it’s a completely different feeling than when I drove.”
