Change a Light Change Michigan Campaign

October 1 - City of Lansing, City Hall.   Michigan Public Service Commissioner Monica Martinez, Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, East Lansing Mayor Sam Singh and Lansing Board of Water & Light’s General Manager, J. Peter Lark launched the Change a Light Change Michigan campaign by participating in a press and public event at the Lansing City Hall.  

Nearly 2,000 Michigan consumers purchased energy saving CFLs as a result of the Change a Light
Change Michigan campaign and many more received the ENERGY STAR Change a Light message.

- $352,552 in direct savings off consumer electric bills.

- Preventing 2,335 tons of coal from being imported and burned.
- Preventing 5,603 tons CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.
