As the leaves fall and it's time to clear those gutters, take a few extra precautions to stay safe around electricity. Always check for power lines near your roof or gutters. Keep tools and yourself at least 10 feet away from overhead lines. 🍂

Save time (and electricity) by using your dishwasher instead of washing dishes with hot water by hand! Wash smarter, not harder:

✨ Pre-rinse dishes.
✨ Use your machine’s recommended detergent.
✨ Set dishwasher temperature lower.
✨ Opt for air-dry instead of heated-dry.

As a cooperative, our members share in our success by contributing to and helping shape PenLight through their economic participation. Now that’s a harvest worth celebrating! 🍂
