People demonstrating the Power of One® in their community.

Save Energy and Benefit Your Community is designed to engage community stakeholders and organizations in identifying and implementing energy-saving opportunities that provide economic and environmental benefits and at the same time provide for a worthwhile cause.

Save and Benefit events involve a local, community-sponsored organization, are supported by community leaders, and show the economic, environmental, societal and personal benefits of energy efficiency. These events show how people who live and work in communities can make a difference. They show people demonstrating the Power of One® in their community to improve quality of life and to work toward a common goal. It begins with you!
