What’s in that bag? Window Plastic! Posted on February 27, 2015 by Grounded Strategies Share this post What’s in that bag? Window Plastic! With the ReEnergize Pgh Energy Efficiency Challenge swinging into full gear, here’s an insider’s look at what participants are working with. Every household that signs up to be a part of the competition receives a ReEnergize Pgh Energy Efficiency toolkit! Our Ambassadors have been hard at work getting these useful tools into the hands of Homewood, Hazelwood and Millville residents. This week, we’ve looked inside the Energy Efficiency toolkits and discovered the energy saving power of shower timers, weather stripping, caulk and outlet caps & covers!
