SARASOTA COUNTY  Sarasota County is serious about saving money, conserving energy and protecting our environment. Residents can benefit from the county’s sustainability expertise by attending a free 30-minute Energy Upgrade workshop that will provide information, tips and materials to help them identify opportunities to save money, energy and water in their home. The workshop discusses cost saving strategies for residents ranging from no-cost solutions to those that may require some investment and possible incentives that might be available.

In addition to the expert advice, workshop participants, whether they own or rent, also will receive a free Do It Yourself Energy Saving Kit with products valued over $30 to start saving energy now (limit one per household). Reducing a home’s energy use can lower utility bills and provide a more comfortable living environment.

“Most homes waste a surprising amount of energy, and we want to help homeowners put those energy dollars back in their pockets,” said Lee Hayes Byron, Sarasota County sustainability manager. “This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn where to start saving energy and what works best for them.”
