Adopt-A-Watt.(ecotalk)(Brief article)

A new program encourages businesses and groups to pay towns to switch to alternative energy. Modeled after the successful Adopt-a-Highway acknowledgment program, the National Adopt-A-Watt Program opens up sponsorship opportunities for businesses and groups willing to fund clean energy, alternative fuel and other energy-efficiency projects. But instead of a sign recognizing sponsors who pay to keep the highway clean, these Adopt-A-Watt sponsors fund solar-powered arrays for street lights, with the donor's name displayed on the light pole. Cities get cleaner energy sources while companies get to show their conservation efforts. For more information about the program, visit www.adopt-a-watt.com.
