Letter: Barrington needs you to 'find your four'

Posted

To the editor:

Barrington is on its way to becoming a “Rhode Island Energy Champion” and we need your help!

Earlier this year the Barrington Town Council passed a resolution committing our town to promoting energy efficiency by participating in the "Find Your Four Challenge." Working with the non-profit organization SmartPower and our local utility company, National Grid, we are helping to get the word out about the challenge. Our goal is to get 5 percent of Barrington households to sign up at www.FindYourFour.com.

• The challenge: Identify four quick simple energy saving actions that you can take in your home to reduce your energy use. We’re talking super simple like — replacing light bulbs with LEDs, use a smart strip for your electronics, putting your computer in sleep mode, wash clothes in cold water and the list goes on.

• What to do: Go to www.FindYourFour.com and enter your name/email/town. Under “Affiliation” please make sure you select “the Town of Barrington”. Now just start finding your four!

• What is in it for Barrington: When Barrington gets 5 percent of its households signed up, National Grid will award our town $5,000 for energy improvements to a public building. 

So join us as we come together and win this! Sign up today, tell your friends and family …and find your four!

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
