“The organizations we honor today have taken real, concrete steps to reduce their energy use and by doing so have not only saved money but have helped save the planet as well,” DEEP Commissioner Daniel C. Esty said at Wednesday's ceremony.
“By taking simple steps to reduce electricity use, all of us can preserve available energy resources and help Connecticut achieve cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable electrical power.”
Way to go, Rand-Whitney!
