“Our organization is pleased to be a part of this important statewide campaign because it benefits the environment by saving energy and it benefits consumers by saving them money on their utility bills,” said Bobbi Balderman, Gen program director. For instance, by replacing older appliances, insulation and light bulbs with energy efficient models, people can reduce utility bills by up to 50 percent. We urge our community to learn more about Flex Your Power and energy saving programs by calling the toll free phone line 1-866-431-FLEX.”

During the coming months, May through September, Gen Com will be conducting a variety of events and activities to raise awareness of energy efficiency programs and products. Included is a “Leave Your Mark” pledge drive where we hope to gather thousands of signatures showing our community’s support of campaign goals. Other outreach activities include a kick-off unveiling of a giant CFL display at the “Y” in the Von’s parking lot on June 15th at 5:30 pm. The display will be used to mark the progress of pledge commitments. The community is invited to attend. Gen Com will also have a booth at the upcoming Music Festival, tables outside of Von’s and Star Market and the Farmer’s Market on some week-ends and boxes at coffee houses throughout the valley where pledges can be made. All those signing the pledges will also be entered to win energy-saving prizes. As part of the project youth interns will do presentations to community groups in the Ojai Valley.
