Energy Initiative: C-Change Part Two
| October 28, 2013In my last post, I focused on the conversion part of our C-Change. Here I focus on our equally important conservation efforts.
Since we launched our ambitious energy initiative in early 2012, our yearly use of propane and heating oil has dropped 20 percent, from an average of 11,500 gallons before we started to 9,000 gallons today.
