Haight St Commons is the communes, coops and intentional communities of the Bay. We want to start an energy savings challenge to help nudge us into a more sustainable, efficient and affordable energy use. Because PG&E's grid is still powered by a portion of fossil fuels, any energy reductions that are made translate to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. We are challenging all Haight St. Commons group houses to reduce their home electricity usage from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. The group house who reduces their electricity use by the greatest percentage as compared to last year's usage (Oct. 1 - Dec. 31, 2018) will win a $500 cash prize.

Participant Eligibility

Only group houses who are part of the Haight St Commons are eligible to join this challenge.

Individual Goal

Reduce your group houses' kWh electricity usage by as much as possible (as compared to your usage from 10/1/2018-12/30/2018). Try to aim for at least 5% energy savings.

Collective Goal

Achieve a total of 1,000 kWh in electricity savings as a collective group.

Reward(s)

$500 cash prize goes to which ever group house manages to reduce their energy consumption the most!<br><br>This is divided into two parts: $250 goes to the house directly to spend on whatever they like, and their other $250 goes towards what ever energy sustainability infrastructure a house wants! Ideas for the second part are - new fridge, smart strips, playing for a plumber to fix water leaks, curtains, tracking devices and so on.
