Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Going Green at the FIRST Robotics Conference in Atlanta

That is interesting, but sounds logistically intense. I see the fundraising coming from the other side of the business. Why not connect with those doing the auditing, and have them recommend the people/businesses they audited buy light bulbs, etc from your team. So, you would go around promoting the audit and then get the $$ on the sales side. If the electric company is going to do the audit work for free why would the team do it?

I had the general idea when buying light bulbs for $1 because they were subsidized. I am sure someone would buy the energy efficient bulbs for $2. Sending the kids door to door with information about being energy efficient and then selling the bulbs would be an easy sell.

I have not had a chance to investigate the feasibility or legality of either of these ideas, but I thought I would share.
