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.
