Environmental Tip of the Month
by Zak Krug, Intern
Has anyone ever
told you to “turn off the lights when you leave a room?” That old-time
saying can help you waste less electricity and save money.
Another suggestion: Buy
more-efficient compact-fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). They not only
give off brighter light, they last for longer periods of time and use
less electricity, conserving energy and making your power bill just a
little more bearable to open at the end of the month.
Visit Ameren’s Web site at
www.ameren.com for coupons and drop off CFLs at Home Depot stores for
recycling.
