GOV. RITTER ANNOUNCES ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION CAMPAIGN
Gov. Bill Ritter today announced the kickoff of a statewide energy efficiency and conservation campaign called "The New Energy Economy: Bringing It Home," which will feature television and radio advertisements to educate homeowners, individuals and consumers about low-cost and simple steps to save energy.
"We are bringing the New Energy Economy home to Coloradans," Gov. Ritter said. "This campaign offers simple steps that any of us can take to save energy and money. Small changes in how we use energy make big differences in reducing energy costs and carbon emissions."
Gov. Ritter said the 12-month campaign will provide basic advice and tips on how to save money at home and at work:
"The goal of this campaign is to help homeowners and consumers across the state to take control of their energy use by starting with these simple steps," Gov. Ritter said. "These tips are aimed at helping consumers save money on utility bills and at the gas pump, and they will protect our environment by reducing our carbon emissions."
