November is National Gratitude Month and I can honestly say that none of the work we have done over the last six years would have been possible without YOU!! Yes, YOU!!
Thank you for being an amazing partner - for sharing information with residents, customers, friends, and family. I can not express how grateful I am for YOU - I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving!
🔌 CONNECTING TO YOU: With a new year approaching, please letme know if there are any ways that we can connect around energy and your work!
We didn't want the fun to end in October so we created a Virtual Energy Escape Room that residents can do all year round. By participating in this Energy Escape Room, residents will complete tasks that will show them how easy it is to electrify items in their home.
🔌 CONNECTING TO YOU: Please share this new Energy Escape room far and wide. Maybe do it with your colleagues, sending it to your family and friends, share it with a school or congregation. Whatever you do, have fun!!!

Acronyms abound - GOTB stands for Gift Outside the Box. Did you know that the amount of household waste in the U.S. increases an average of 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day (EPA)? GOTB is one way to rethink how you give gifts this holiday season. Hearing “gift green” might make you think of giving out money as a gift. To us, gifting green means thinking about the impact to the environment of what we buy, as well as, how we buy our gifts.
🔌 CONNECTING TO YOU: Do you offer something amazing that you would like to be added to our website? Let us know - this is a fun way to show people how to give outside the box!

With over 850 people attending different energy focused events this month, we can say that Energy Action Month was a success this year and that is thanks to you as a partner!!!
🔌 CONNECTING TO YOU: If you could continue to spread the word about our Electrify Everything pledge and the Energy Escape Room, that would be amazing!

The National Energy Education Develop Program (NEED( created a new activity guide called Cost of a Thanksgiving Meal. This is a great way for students to utilize math skills to calculate costs while incorporating energy education! From planning their meal to what appliances are used, natural gas vs. electric appliances, investigating ENERGY STAR® labels and electric nameplates, graphing results, and more!
🔌 CONNECTING TO YOU: Download the activity guide, Cost of a Thanksgiving Meal and use it with your kids, families, or even students.
