Need an Exit Strategy for High Energy Bills?

BASE is excited to announce Exit Signs for Evanston, a campaign to save Evanston businesses money while bringing our community closer to fulfilling the Evanston Climate Action Plan.

One Simple Goal for Our Community
Replace 1,000 old exit signs, eliminating over 3 million pounds of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. We’re aiming to knock out 2.5% of the Evanston Climate Action Plan goal for commercial building efficiency.

One Simple Step for You
Participate by filling out a one-page form to replace as many of your exit signs as you’d like. $99 pays for a high-quality sign as well as installation by a local, licensed electrician.
