  • Learn Energy Savings at Sierra Club Event 

    Wednesday, Nov 4, 2009 @08:13am CST


    (Springfield, MO) -- Heating season is coming, but you don't have to burn through your bank account to stay warm.

    A lot of us would love to have a solar-powered home or maybe a wind turbine in the backyard.
    Unfortunately, those items are expensive.

    Here's the good news:  You can do little things that will really add up.

    The Sierra Club is hosting a "No-Cost, Low-Cost Energy Savers" program next Tuesday, November 10.
    That's set for 7:00 pm at the Springfield Conservation Nature Center.
    Jeff Barber will host the program.

    He's a housing and environmental design specialist for the University of Missouri.

    Barber will talk about easy things you can do yourself like building a simple "draft dodger" to block air leaks around doors and windows.

    That free program is next Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 pm at the Springfield Conservation Nature Center.

    Thursday's explosion in Springfield brings to mind the need to plan for emergencies. Does your family have an emergency plan and disaster kit?
     No, we've been meaning to do it, but haven't
     Yes, the ice storms taught us that lesson
     I didn't know we needed one
     I don't think they're necessary
