Puget Sound Energy's Rock The Bulb Tour - Unplugged Event!

I love that title that Puget Sound Energy is using to make their energy efficiency events fun, as well as a convenient way for people to conserve energy!!

Residential electric customers can bring up to 10 regular, incandescent light bulbs to swap for new CFL bulbs - for free! Don't know about you, but I love free!! The first local exchange will be this coming weekend, Oct 24th & 25th at the Lowe's store in Lacey; also Oct 31st & Nov. 1st at the Lowe's in Olympia.

People can also enter the Be an Energy Rock Star contest which has up to $45,000 in prizes - winning money is even better than getting things for free! Check out more info at www.PSE.com or www.rockthebulb.pse.com. There's info on other locations for the free bulbs as well as volunteer opportunities to deliver free CFL bulbs in a number of different cities - this will be a great way for people to replace their inefficient porch lights before the winter months.

So if you like the idea of using about 75% less energy with your light bulbs as well as having them last longer - as much as 10 times longer - come on out to Rock the Bulb!!
