Clean Energy Sign Ups
We've had a banner few weeks, with 58 (wow!) town residents signing up for clean energy since the beginning of March. Thanks especially to Joanne Acquadro, Katerina Howie and Ancona's Market for their efforts and support.
Kill A WattsRACE has partnered with the Ridgefield Library to provide six Kill A Watt energy meters available for loan to library card holders. These devices are helpful in determining how much electricity individual appliances consume by the hour. Example: plug your refrigerator into the Kill A Watt and then plug the Kill A Watt into an outlet; wait twenty-four hours and an LED display will provide a pretty accurate reading on how many kilowatts per hour your fridge has used. Instructions are provided to figure out the consumption rate per week, month and year, as well as the cost in dollars. This is also a great way to discover how much those "vampire appliances" are really sucking out out of your wallet... and the power grid.
