  Seattle City Light Conservation | Tip of the Day
  If each U.S. household increased the energy efficiency of our major appliances by 10 to 30%, we'd reduce the demand for electricity by the equivalent of 25 large power plants (from 30 Simple Energy Things You Can Do to Save the Earth, Seattle City Light and The EarthWorks Group, 1990 with updates).

Mayor Greg Nickels' Introduction -- 30 Simple Energy Things
 
Dear Citizens of Seattle,
 
We'd all like to help save the Earth but where do we begin? What can one person do? Seattle City Light, as stewards of our environment, wants to help you get started. In 30 Simple Energy Things, you can learn how saving energy can help save the Earth. These suggestions are simple and uncomplicated -- some as easy as turning off lights when you leave a room or washing clothes in colder water.
 
Since 1977, Seattle City Light has been a leader in energy conservation. Today, the City's commitment to conservation remains a top priority. We are proud to provide you, our citizens, energy that comes from clean, renewable hydropower. But only so much water flows over our dams. And our region's energy needs continue to grow. We are determined to meet that demand through energy saved today, instead of building costly new power plants that deplete our planet's priceless natural resources.
 
Since becoming Mayor, I have been overwhelmed by the pride so many of our citizens have for Seattle. I know you care deeply about the health of our city. Thank you for your commitment to energy conservation and to keeping Seattle one of the nation's most livable cities. I welcome your suggestions and comments.
 
Sincerely,
Greg Nickels, Mayor, City of Seattle
