Almost 1,000 Mpowered

That's right, almost 1,000 individuals and businesses have pledged to help Madison reduce their carbon footprint and are busy making changes! Help spread Mpower! Send this email to 5 of your Madisonian colleagues and friends. Let's see if we can double this number by the New Year.

New Year's Resolution

Do you want to shed some pounds in 2008? Twenty pounds of CO2 is saved for every gallon of gas not used. Shave your carbon pounds by biking in the New Year! Take public transportation! Sign up for Community Car, Madison’s car sharing service, for 24/7 access to hybrid-electric cars, a pick-up truck, a minivan and even a Mini Cooper. Sign up before March and receive a free application (type “Mpower” in the promo code box on the online application).

Want to shed even more?

For around $6 a month (the cost of 12 avoided donuts), the average MGE residential customer consuming 600 kWh per month can purchase 100% green energy from MGE's Green Power Tomorrow and shed 1300 pounds! If you haven't already, sign up to off-set the carbon dioxide emissions generated from your home or business's electricity use for $0.01 extra per kilowatt-hour.
