ENERGY EFFICIENCY

TIP OF THE MONTH

Take advantage of the warmer weather to reduce home energy use. Avoid using your oven and use a grill instead. Not only will cooking outdoors eliminate the electricity used to power the stove, but it will also avoid raising the temperature inside your home, reducing the need for additional air conditioning.

Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened 8 oz. Cool Whip , softened 2 tbsp. granulated sugar 1 (1 lb.) package sugar cookie dough 1 tsp. vanilla extract Fruit of your choice

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a round glass pizza pan. In a large bowl, whip together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in Cool Whip. Chill until ready to use. Press the dough into the pan, about 1/8 inch thick. Pierce several times with a fork. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely. While the cookie is cooling, drain the fruit and set on paper towels to absorb excess juices. Using a rubber spatula, spread an even layer of frosting over the cooled cookie dough crust. Arrange fruit on top and keep chilled until ready to serve.

Enjoy Water Recreation Safely

Electricity can be dangerous around larger bodies of water. If you plan to go boating or fishing this summer, be aware of your surroundings and potential electrical hazards.

Never go swimming near boats plugged into shore power or docks with electrical service.

Check for the location of power lines before fishing. Make sure you are casting the line far away from power lines to avoid contact.

Contact between your boat and a power line could be devastating. Maintain a distance of at least 10 feet between your boat and nearby power lines to be safe.

If your boat comes in contact with a power line, never jump out of the boat into the water— the water could be energized. Stay in the boat and avoid touching anything metal until help arrives or until your boat is no longer in contact with the line.
