Energy conservation plays an extremely important role for both energy producers and users. People can have a significant impact on the need to build new power plants by making simple modifications to their lifestyle. Conserving energy is good for your pocketbook—and good for the environment. Together, Dairyland and its member cooperatives are encouraging energy users in Dairyland’s four-state service territory to “Do the Bright Thing” by providing members with ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. In 2008, 300,000 ENERGY STAR CFL bulbs will be distributed to cooperative members, with more planned in 2009. ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer.
