Marisa Joyce from Elevate Energy will be available in the dorm parlors on Tuesday, Sept. 18 and Thursday, Sept. 20 to provide this information. SEE SCHEDULE BELOW Community Challenge is Ending! The Community Challenge is coming to a close (ends October 31st). This may be the last chance for Blackburn’s Sustainability Committee to earn points for the Carlinville Schools and a chance to earn a grant. Any club, professor-class, or individual can schedule Marisa Joyce from Elevate Energy (a non-profit organization) to speak with your group. She teaches people how to save money on their electricity bills, make their homes more comfortable, and collectively reduce energy use by taking advantage of the benefits of the smart grid (including real time pricing programs-Ameren) and increasing their home or apartment’s energy efficiency. Homeowners – schedule a home demonstration, invite your friends and family, and receive a FREE Nest thermostat – a $200 value! With students, she stresses that they will soon be paying for their own utility bills, so it’s important to know this information. She also teaches them a little about what to ask their landlord (i.e. for information on the unit’s past electricity bills). Contact Kathy Ruiter, Sustainability Committee Chair, for more information or to schedule Marisa. kathleen.ruiter@blackburn.edu, campus extension 5525.
