mascotHow about we get the word out to the Billings Montana and surrounding areas about a Mascot Naming contest for the new City Of Billings Energy Star program!

A new public information campaign named "Blue Skies Green Pockets" has been launched after more than a year of planning between the City of Billings and Montana State University Billings.  A $53,000 grant has been awarded to the collaboration with a target of marketing energy star information to our local public.

The website is fabulous and deserves a look around.  I ran across a page that asks for middle school kids, aged 10 to 15 to submit names for the new mascot and thought I would post in AR and on my facebook page.

Some of the tips for these ages include turning off their video games when they're not in use, along with playing outside instead of playing on the video games (good luck, but maybe in an effort to save energy)!

One I thought was kinda funny "don't leave the refrigerator door open"; made me think of when my 4 kids were teenagers and starving and couldn't make up their minds what to eat, while holding the fridge door wide open.

What a cute mascot!  I asked my kids what they would call it hoping one of them would have a brilliant automatic response.  No such luck.  One said something about a conductor which could be played with into something clever I suppose... It will be fun to see what the kids submit, you'll have to tell us the results.

What a great way to get kids to think about what they can do to save energy. I like your "close the refrigerator door" suggestion and would add a simple "just close the door when you go out"! Jeesh! I think my son thinks it's going to spring shut behind him! :)

The pocket man needs a snappy name i think, something loveable!

Closing the refrigerator door is something my husband could be better at as well!  LOL
