Invest Today for Savings Tomorrow

In our legislative panel from earlier this month, Representative Wicks talked about the aging infrastructure of our schools, which leads to time-consuming repairs and *very* expensive utility bills. In at least one case, a high school was paying 4x as much in utilities costs compared to a newer one of the same size! WA STRONG could pay for the much-needed energy efficiency upgrades needed in our public institutions, for substantial savings in taxpayer money and greenhouse gas emissions. You can watch the entire panel discussion here.
