Miami County FREE ENERGY Leib Lurie Jake Schlacter

Why are we here? To create a program that will use stimulus $$ to… Create 500 jobs in Miami County Cut Energy Bill for residents Help keep more people in their homes Reduce Carbon Emissions HOW? By Weatherizing 100 homes per week, 50,000 over five years Then: Pay back government stimulus money- a hand up, not a hand out.

For Workers in Miami County Create good jobs weatherizing homes Create more jobs when we source material for weatherizing homes Create more jobs with multiplier effect Each job created, generates 2-4 more jobs from the money spent by the first employee! Create even more jobs by keeping fossil fuel savings here at home

For Homeowners and Tenants Weatherizing Cuts your energy bill Weatherizing Reduces your monthly housing costs Weatherizing Puts $25 more in your pocket every month Weatherizing Eliminates your Up-Front Expenses Solves the renter / landlord divide by letting the renter pay for weatherization from their savings.
