Hi Everyone!

We send greetings from North Carolina, where we're taking a few days to get reorganized and gear up for the latter half of the summer.

GREEN NEWS

The GreenDuhks are starting their new campaign: Turn It Off!
 
We want to encourage everyone to take one of the simplest measures possible to reduce our impact on the environment - turning off devices and lights when leaving a room.

We're taking a 3-pronged approach:

1 - Phantom power conservation

When you leave the room, turn out the light, turn off the TV & the computer! Set up your adapters, chargers, anything electronic on rocker switch power strips that you can turn off. There are even some smart power strips that turn off all accessories once the main device (say the computer) is turned off.

2 - Light source (modification & usage) change

Get some low wattage night lights that turn on whenever it's dark just so there's no need to turn on the room light. Save money by replacing your lights for LEDs and help the planet out too!

3 - Water conservation (awareness and usage)

Turn off the water when brushing your teeth! Fix that leaky faucet or toilet - they waste water (obviously) and electricity to pump and filter that water.

We need your help!

Send us a link to a video of you demonstrating how you conserve energy, as creatively as you wish. Winners will receive backstage passes to a Duhks show and will be featured in a short video on the Duhks' website, youtube, imeem and myspace pages.

THE DUHKS LOVE YOU!
