As a result of these upgrades, the hospital is saving more than 800 mega-
watt hours of electricity and 3.7 million cubic feet of natural gas each year.
These savings are equivalent to the amount of electricity 75 homes would
typically consume in one year. The avoided emissions are approximately 609
tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to taking 106 cars off the road for a year.
"We want to be viewed as thought-leaders in every sense," said Will.

Parks Officials Solve
46-year-old Plaque Case
Connecticut State Park officials have recov-
ered a bronze memorial plaque stolen in 1967
from the Wolf Den section of Mashanmoquet
Brook State Park in Pomfret.
The plaque, originally placed by the
Daughters of the American Revolution in 1920
at the site of isreal Putnam's stony wolf den,
was spotted for sale on eBay in november.
Col. Kyle overturf, the Department of energy
& environmental Protection's director of law
enforcement, traced the seller to vermont.
There was no prosecution in the case, as the
statute of limitations expired decades ago. DeeP
officials won't put the plaque back at Mashamo-
quet, out of fear it might be stolen again.
"We were just pleased to recover the historic
plaque," said Thomas Tyler, state parks director,
"and are now looking at ways for the public to
see the plaque in a more secure setting."
This photo from around 1948 shows the
plaque before it was stolen.
