The Petersburgh Public Library will be presenting a “Save Energy, Save Dollars” workshop on Wednesday, October 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Everyone is invited to attend this free program. The “Save Energy, Save Dollars” workshop provides low cost and no cost ways to save energy and reduce energy bills. It links consumers with programs that provide energy efficiency improvements with subsidies, low interest loans or free services to qualifying households. Workshop participants receive a free energy kit with outlet/light switch gaskets, outlet caps, rope caulk, tube of caulk, shrink fit window insulation kit and a refrigerator thermometer.
These workshops, conducted by Cornell Cooperative Extension as part of the EmPower New York Program, are now a component of the HeatSmart NY initiative. HeatSmart NY workshops are sponsored by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
