Kids Essay Contest

"How and Why My Family Practices Energy Efficiency"

This summer, South Jersey Gas is holding an essay contest exclusively for the children of our Energy Savings Club members describing how and why your family implements energy efficiency measures in your home.

With the arrival of summer, SJG wants to remind you about the importance of implementing energy efficient measures to help save on your monthly energy bills and improve the environment.

As a valued member, you have access to a variety of special offers and tips to help reduce your energy costs while still keeping comfortable.

SJG understands that using energy more efficiently requires the assistance from everyone in the entire household – from turning off lights, to cooking outside to washing clothes in cold water – and, we want to know about it.

The winner will receive a $100 American Express gift card and have their essay along with photo displayed on the SJG Web site.
