FLEX YOUR POWER
As a result of our outstanding campaign in 2009, The High Sierra Energy Foundation has been awarded an $8,000 grant as a member of the 2010 Flex Your Power Community Outreach Campaign.
Director of the Foundation, Rick Phelps, said the $8,000 grant will pay for community events, advertising and generally getting the message of efficiency out to the local public in Mammoth Lakes. Phelps believes a cultural change must happen to create an awareness of energy efficiency, as he puts it, one light bulb at a time.
Flex Your Power is California's statewide energy efficiency marketing and outreach campaign. Initiated in 2001, Flex Your Power is a partnership of California's utilities, residents, businesses, institutions, government agencies and nonprofit organizations working to save energy. The campaign includes a comprehensive website, an electronic newsletter and blog, and educational materials. Flex Your Power has received national and international recognition, including an ENERGY STAR Award for excellence.
The campaign's primary funding comes from the Public Goods Charge as approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), as well as contributing Munis and Partner organizations and companies.
