ABOUT TAKE CHARGE
Communities Take Charge is dedicated to encouraging people to take charge of their energy use through everyday actions.
How the Communities Take Charge program works:
-
Choose three energy-saving actions to try for one month from our list of actions and receive an Energy Prize Point. Click here to shop for your actions.
-
We’ll send you an email in one month to ask you a few questions about your experiences reducing your energy use. We will estimate how much energy you saved based on your feedback.
-
After you provide feedback, you will receive another Energy Prize Point, and we will add your energy savings to the Corvallis tally.
About Energy Prize Points:
When Corvallis wins the $5 million Georgetown University Energy Prize, your earned Energy Prize Points will act as raffle tickets. The raffle will include fantastic prizes: one $10,000 grand prize, two $5,000 prizes, five $2,000 prizes, and ten $1,000 prizes!
