The University of Texas System has made a commitment to do our part to save energy and help protect the environment. Join us and take the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge to change at least one light at home to an energy-efficient one, and help us reach our goal!
It's a small step that's already making a big difference. Our Goal: UT System staff each pledge to change one or more standard light bulbs in their homes with Energy Star rated Compact Florescent Lamps. We could save 141,000 kWh of electricity and prevent 204,500 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, one lamp at a time!
Take the pledge now by clicking on the graphic below to sign up and demonstrate how UT System employees are doing their part to save energy.
