Ameren rewards Epworth for Going Green!

The installation of energy efficient lighting earned Epworth a rebate from Ameren.  The other ways in which we are reducing our carbon footprint is by replacing HVAC systems with energy efficient models, roof insulation, and the installation of a comprehensive agency-wide recycling program.  All of these efforts are not only good for the planet, but saves money that can be used for our kids.
