October 4 Is ENERGY STAR's 7th Annual Change a Light Day
|
 |
Already this year, Pineapple Hospitality's lodging clients have replaced 75,000 incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents - saving 6.8 million kilowatt hours, which is the equivalent of planting 1,332 acres of forest and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 10 million pounds. |
Today is ENERGY STAR's 7th Annual Change a Light Day. It's the day Saint Charles-based Pineapple Hospitality salutes its brightly shining 'green lodging' clients, which already this year have replaced 75,000 incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents.
Come to the Light
'In just the first nine months of 2006, our lodging lighting retrofits have saved a combined 6.8 million kilowatt hours - which is the equivalent of planting 1,332 acres of forest and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 10 million pounds,' said Ray Burger, president or Pineapple Hospitality.
'Oh yeah ... Did we mention that these green retrofits, which literally are as simple as changing out a few lightbulbs, also will save these lodging facilities a combined $1 million annually - 30 to 70 percent of their related lighting bills - and this will go directly to their bottom lines?' Burger added.
