While here, Governor Manchin and Secretary Timmermeyer signed a proclamation called, "Change a Light, Change the World." It's a campaign to educate state citizens about how to make West Virginia more sustainable and energy efficient – one way being to get more state agencies and households to switch from traditional incandescent light bulbs to the energy-saving compact fluorescent lamps.
A special WVU Web site is available for WE CAN updates, energy saving tips and recycling facts. Visit WECAN.WVU.EDU (Show font with http://wecan.wvu.edu/)
Working together "WE CAN" make a difference at WVU!
