 Weekly Update May 2, 2012 

 

  • Urge Senate to Set Pollution Control Act for Special Order: Last week, the Greenville Chamber and 14 allies hand delivered a letter  to the Senate urging the body to set H.4654 for Special Order at the first available opportunity, which will bypass senators who are objecting to debate on the bill. The legislation is one of the top economic development issues of the session and will correct a shocking ruling by the SC Supreme Court. The business community should contact senators today to urge them to set H.4654 for Special Order as soon as possible.

BEST Sustainability Tip of the Week: Did you know that by simply turning off your screen saver, you can save up to 12% of the energy consumed by your computer? Most of today`s screen savers actually waste power by keeping your computer active. If you turn your computer monitor off when you walk away, screen saver waste will not be an issue. Learn more about saving on your utility bills at FurmanBEST.biz.
