For decades Energizer has supported organizations helping to make a positive impact in local communities and around the world. This spring as part of the Energizer campaign—that’s positivenergy—they’re “building” on that commitment in a new way through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity®. Working with baseball legend and philanthropist Cal Ripken, Jr., Energizer is donating more than $300,000 and 1,000 volunteer hours to Habitat through a multi-city series of volunteer projects to help build new homes and revitalize existing homes for those in need.

It is very hot here in Texas. We want to stay cool at home. We use air conditioner and turn it offwhen it is very cold. We use it only when needed to save the utility bill. I think we saved  3% on our energy bill.

With the rising cost of utilities, we can all use a little bit of help right?  Especially if we have a really hot summer!  So, beyond helping Habitat, Energizer is doing something to help us all out
In addition to the series of volunteer projects, you will see the Energizer and Habitat for Humanity partnership coming to the shelves of your favorite stores. Through the Energizer Utility Cash program, you can collect codes from select Energizer battery and lighting products and redeem them online for savings, up to $25 total savings each per person/household/email address, off your own utility bill.  You start earning rewards with just two codes and will need 10 codes total to earn the full $25.  Or you can help make a positive impact and choose to turn the codes into a donation to Habitat for Humanity®.

Here’s how to redeem:

1. Once you are finished collecting your codes, visit www.nowthatspositivenergy.com/utilities to enter your codes.
2. You must enter your codes all at once.
3. The last day to redeem codes is 3/31/13 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The wonderful people at Energizer’ll be hard at work over the next few weeks watching videos of kids explaining what happens when their toys run out of battery power, all to help raise money for their favorite charity. The top ten picks will each get a portion of the ten big ones up for grabs. They’ll be posted here on June 14th, and then they’re counting on you to come back and vote on your favorites to help decide what portion of the $10,000 in donations will go to each.

Energizer have launched a  charity program that you can watch  to vote the top ten picks on June 14th. Please let me know if any one of you are in the top ten list and I will encourage others to vote for your video. It would be more fun to watch the energizer kids who take charge to participate this charity program  in the video.
