The Brooklyn Paper reports:
Councilman Brad Lander (D–Park Slope) is putting his energy efficient light bulbs where his mouth is, battling his constituents in a yearlong energy-saving competition that aims to reduce electricity throughout his district.
The “Reduce the Use” contest begins on Aug. 1, and is open to any Con Edison customer and resident of Lander’s 39th District — Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Borough Park.
The competition kicks off tomorrow at 2 p.m. at the Old Stone House in Park Slope, or you can sign up online here.
Sustainable Kensington Windsor Terrace, which got the project rolling, also has more info.
