Going Green

Tonight we kicked off our latest Going Green Series. It will run every Sunday night on the 10 PM Report and every Monday on Daybreak. Tonight's topic focused on how to dispose of old electronics that you no longer care for. You can check out that story on the homepage of our website. Here's the way the Going Green stories will shape up through the month:

Next Week: Phantom Power
    Believe it or not, when you have your TV turned off, it is still sucking power as long as it's plugged in. I'll let you know how much money that costs you on a yearly basis, and it might surprise you.

May 18: Keeping your Summer Utility Bill Down
    It doesn't feel like it now but summer is right around the corner. It isn't uncommon for temperatures to rise into the 90s during the summer, and an air conditioner can come in handy. I'll have the details on the most efficient way to run your AC.

May 25: Energy audit at WXOW
    To conclude our Going Green series, I thought it would be a great idea to practice what we preach. We will be getting an energy audit at our station. I'll fill you in on where we are saving energy and where we could use some improvement.

Until Next Time,
