Evansville , Ind. Vectren
electric customers are invited to celebrate Earth and Arbor Days this week
with a handful of programs and events that are designed to educate them
about environmental stewardship: considering and minimizing their impact on
the environment. Partnering with Keep Evansville Beautiful, Vectren will
distribute 500 redbud trees* in honor of Arbor Day, April 25. In addition,
Vectren has partnered with Allied Waste Services of Evansville for
customers and employees to drop their recyclable items in large recycling
bins set up for the day at the event.
All are invited to
Vectren's headquarters at 211 NW Riverside Drive from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
to pick up a tree while supplies last and/or drop off their recyclable
items: newspaper, aluminum and glass.
Planting a tree might not sound like a significant undertaking, but
trees not only beautify our region, they also play a key part in reducing
carbon dioxide, the root cause of global warming according to most in the
scientific community, said Chairman and CEO Niel Ellerbrook. From
recycling household products to minimizing paper waste or even using less
energy, each of us needs to think differently about how our lifestyle
impacts our environment. Also, remember to plan before you plant your redbud
tree and call 811 before you dig.
A Plan Before You Plant brochure and Call Before You Dig information
will be provided to all those who pick up trees.
Customers also will be encouraged by Vectren to enroll in its online
billing program, eBill, to get more customers to choose paperless billing.
Currently, more than 85,000 customers are enrolled in the free billing
option that delivers their Vectren bills to a desired email address, which
translates into savings of more than a ton of paper per month.
Vectren's electric utility serves all of portions of seven counties in
southwestern Indiana , including Dubois, Gibson, Pike, Posey, Spencer,
Vanderburgh and Warrick.
* The number of trees is limited, and they will be available on a
first-come, first served basis. Limit one per customer.
