The green revolution has nothing to do with saving dollars. Granted, I agree we need to make more efficient use of available resources, by reducing total energy use.
Just don't try to snow over this tax payer that it about cost saving by changing some light bulbs.
If you want to really save money, first thing is stop spending it.
second, reduce administrative resources and focus on core activities of you organization. In other words if it is an education facility, then hire more teachers.
