YOUR TURN TO ‘CHANGE THE WORLD’

Spring is a time of inspiration and change, and now it’s your turn!

Western Area Power Administration’s Energy Services is holding a contest seeking out the next idea to promote Energy Star’s “Change the World” campaign. Open to families of Western customers and employees (especially children), the goal is to come up with an innovative way for individuals to make a difference in the fight against global warming.

Western will showcase the winning measure in its "Change the World" month-long campaign in October. The idea will be spread through e-mail messages, a press release and on Energy Service’s Web site and the winner will receive plenty of recognition. And all who participate will receive a nominal prize for sharing their ideas, and the most original idea will receive an honorable mention.

Now it's your turn. Start brainstorming, check out the contest rules and send us your great ideas by June 20.
