LIVONIA, Mich. – Co-op Services CU, which was founded in Dearborn more than 57 years ago, joined the city of Deaborn’s Adopt-A-Watt, an energy- and money-saving program for two public parking structures that are located only a few blocks from the credit union’s branch in west Dearborn.
Co-op Services joined other local businesses and organizations to sponsor the installation of energy-efficient lights in the parking structures. The new lights will reduce energy consumption, leading to a reduction about 300,000 pounds of coal. The lights will last 100,000 hours, significantly longer than conventional lights.
The Adopt-A-Watt program is a public-private partnership developed by Royal Oak businessman Thomas Wither. Businesses are asked to help sponsor energy efficient lights so that monies saved can be used for other green initiatives.
