The City of San Jose and the Silicon Valley Energy Watch are sponsoring a new program that rewards you for saving you your energy bill. For all of the info, just read the blurb below.

Save money.  Save energy.  Shop Local.

GEM  is a program sponsored by the City of San José that rewards residents for saving energy at home with coupons from local merchants. The program is a win-win-win as it helps residents save money, offers merchants free advertising and exposure, and strengthens local shopping districts and communities.

GEM is available in three pilot neighborhoods:  Hillview, Evergreen and Willow Glen.  The coupons, 70%-off from participating local merchants, are awarded monthly based on the energy savings shown on PG&E bills.
