Sept. 19, 2007 - The electric cooperatives of South Carolina have made a commitment to do our part to save energy and help fight global warming. With your help, we can do even more. Be part of our team and pledge  to make your next light bulb or fixture one that's earned the government's ENERGY STAR® label for excellence in energy efficiency. The pledge is a simple but vital method of encouraging more people like you to commit to preventing greenhouse gases and saving energy resources, one light — one energy-saving step — at a time.

Our goal is to get 100 electric cooperative members to pledge to change at least one light at home. Just think, by reaching this goal we will be making a significant impact on our environment.  If all households in South Carolina changed just one incandescent bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb, we could reduce the amount of carbon dioxide going into the air each year by 131 million pounds.  That would be like removing 11,000 cars from South Carolina's roads. 

Every ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb uses 75% less energy than a standard bulb, lasts up 10 times longer and can save about $30 or more in energy costs — while preventing more than 400 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime.

Take the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge today and help us reach our goal! It's a small step that's already making a big difference.

Thank you for your support!
