Newark, N.J.—New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate Seema M. Singh today announced the publication of the Spanish-language version of the Consumer Conservation Handbook: Manual Sobre Conservacion para el Consumidor.

“We are very pleased to expand the availability of the conservation handbook to reach Spanish-speaking consumers throughout the state,” said Singh. “The more of these conservation tips that consumers can adopt, the more they will save on their utility bills and protect the environment.”

The book features chapters on: how to read and understand your utility bill, how to read your electric and gas meter, natural gas tips, water conservation tips, caulking and weather stripping, conducting a home energy audit and heating and cooling tips.
