You’ve probably noticed that the Co-op looks a little different lately. No, we didn’t remodel the store(that’s coming next month). Instead, everything in the Co-op is a little brighter. It’s not just our sunny dispositions illuminating your life—we upgraded the store’s lighting! Not only can you better see every delicate spike on the rambutan, but the Co-op is saving a bunch of energy!
We partnered with PG&E on an “Energy Upgrade” for the store, replacing all our existing light fixtures with new, more efficient LED lighting. We are projecting that the Co-op will use 49% less energy on lighting thanks to these upgrades! We are so excited that PG&E offered us a 0% loan to make such a major cut in our kilowatt hours consumption. The next time you’re in the Co-op, notice the new light fixtures—they’re saving money, reducing energy consumption, and shining bright!
