About the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge

Press Release Body = (Lakeville, MA, 1-22-2007) Energize Now today announced that
they have joined the ENERGY STARŪ Change a Light, Change the World campaign, a
growing community of corporations, utilities, manufacturers, individuals, and
countless others who have made a firm commitment to change the world, one light -
one energy-saving step - at a time.

As part of this national movement, Energize Now has volunteered to encourage 5,000
individuals to pledge to replace at least one incandescent bulb or fixture at home
with one that has earned the government's ENERGY STAR label - as a first step to
preserve our energy resources and environment. The Energize Now Consortium hopes to
achieve their goal on or before January 1st, 2008. 5,000 pledges could save
1,410,000 kWh and prevent 2,230,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

"Like many organizations, we want to do our part to create a better environment,"
said Glenn Maltais, founder of Energize Now. "Participating in this national
campaign is both easy and effective. We are proud to spread the word about the
simple steps individuals in our community can take to make a difference."

Energize Now will take an active role in encouraging individuals to make a simple,
yet meaningful commitment by taking the online ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge.
With lighting accounting for about 20 percent of the typical home's electricity use,
switching to energy-efficient options is a significant way to reduce greenhouse
gases, save energy and protect the environment for future generations. To be part of
Energize Now's efforts, take the pledge online at:
