10x10 Energy Efficiency Initiative
10x10 Jackson Hole Energy Efficiency Action Plan
Fall 2007
Executive Summary

The Action Plan contains each of the team action plans as well as all of the relevant documents that got this initiative rolling including the official resolution adopted by the town and county in January of 2007.

In 2007, the Jackson Town Council and Board of Teton County Commissioners took action to improve energy efficiencies and reduce heat trapping gas emissions by forming an Energy Efficiency Advisory Board (EEAB) tasked with improving energy efficiency in local governmental operations. In order to provide focus for the newly formed Board, the Town and County adopted an aggressive energy reduction target for local government operations, committing to 10% reduction in electricity and fossil fuel use by the year 2010 (10x10).

SPOTLIGHT
The Jackson Police Department has been flying under the radar! The baseline data is finally complete and after reviewing Department stats it has come to our attention that the Police Department is saving fuel in a BIG way! One of their strategies was adding an additional battery to each of their vehicles, allowing them to shut off their engines rather than idle. By doing that they have saved a whopping 17% in fuel. Chief Zivkovich said that energy efficient driving education has helped too. Just goes to show that a few small changes CAN make a BIG difference. Way to go PD!!!

Did You Know…. if you tear dark colored paper (like colorful file folders) and they are white inside YES they are recyclable.
