“Pledge to Reduce Your Energy Use” at School or Work

Each month, Jefferson County Public Schools, Louisville Metro Government, and the University of Louisville spend millions of dollars on energy to power their buildings and vehicle fleets. In addition to the economic cost, energy use, which is powered by fossil fuels, has environmental and public health impacts. Working together, we can reduce energy use by changing how we use energy while we are at school or at work. As the largest public entitles in Kentucky, we can be good stewards of the taxpayer’s money and good stewards of the environment. While these may seem simple, energy conservation opportunities can have a huge impact at school, at work and at home. We urge you to pledge to reduce your energy use.

To take the pledge at your school or workplace, simply click on your logo below. There will be a portable document file (pdf) format copy of a different pledge for each partner. You may take the online version, OR you can print out the pdf and return it to the person indicated at the bottom of your particular form. Either way, you will be entered into a drawing for sustainable door prizes. The drawing will be held on December 8, 2008, so make sure to pledge to reduce your energy use by December 7th. Make “green” your favorite color!
