Take the challenge
How you can participate and save energy
The Corvallis Energy Challenge is a year-long campaign to help Corvallis residents and businesses boost energy efficiency, control energy costs and build a cleaner future with renewable energy. It runs March 3, 2008, through Feb. 28, 2009.
The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition has teamed up with Energy Trust of Oregon to present the Challenge. All Corvallis businesses, organizations and individuals are invited to join the effort to help build a more sustainable future for our community!
Take action at your home or business, beginning with an energy review. You will:
- Discover energy-saving opportunities
- Find out if a solar project might work for your location
- Learn how to earn cash incentives
Benefits for our community
The Corvallis Energy Challenge aims to:
- Increase energy efficiency to help homeowners, businesses and city government control energy costs.
- Build a more sustainable future by investing in renewable energy technologies.
- Raise awareness of availability of Energy Trust cash incentives that help make energy-efficiency improvements more affordable.
- Empower community leaders to become champions of energy efficiency and sustainability.
- Help the citizens of Corvallis move toward carbon neutrality.
Community energy programs have been successful in other locations (see a background report in the Energy Trust Library online), and Corvallis provides an ideal setting for this Oregon pilot. Many businesses, community organizations, churches and government entities have already demonstrated their concern for sustainability by joining the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition.
Join the Challenge and help make it a success. You can save energy today and help build a more sustainable tomorrow.
