Bob Stoffs

Bob Stoffs is the Community Services Manager and has 30 years of experience with Madison Gas and Electric working with residential customers and renewable energy.  Bob helps manage the Green Power Tomorrow program at MG&E where residents and businesses can purchase local green power.  Be sure to check out the MG&E website for more information.  If you buy into the green power tomorrow program with MG&E you are supporting local green power, the solar bought by MG&E and sold to you is from local residents, it’s a great way to do your part in sustaining local green power.  As for sustainability Bob says that he “can’t define it but knows it when he sees it” and EnAct is a great first step.  As for his own sustainability weak spot he wishes his transportation was greener and he says that even though he is an energy saver expert there are still ways he could improve in his own house!  Contact enact@madisonenvironmental.com with any questions for Bob or if you would like to have him attend your EnAct energy meeting to talk about ways to reduce your use at home.

Charles Warner

Charles Warner is a Residential Services Specialist and has worked for Madison Gas and Electric for three years now.  Previously he worked in the not-for-profit arena working for Energy Services Inc.  There he would help low to middle income families save money on their utility bills.  Now at MG&E he works mostly with multifamily buildings- if you are a renter this might be you!  Charles would like all EnAct participants and followers to remember to use the Home Energy Line- a FREE service provided by MG&E for the community to ask questions and get opinions on energy consumption and resources in the Madison area. As for his definition of sustainability Charles says it is using what we have today in the best way possible, and getting others involved in doing the same.  You must lead by example, and Charles definitely does that, though as a new father he says he could be more sustainable by using less disposable diapers for his new baby girl!

Mark Anderson

Mark is an environmental scientist at Madison Metropolitan Sewage District where he analyses ground water and monitors wells for nitrates and bacteria.  Additionally he facilitates the application of bio solids to farmland to increase productivity. Mark’s background is in chemistry and biology where he concentrated on aquatic toxicology and now he is one of our eco- heroes for keeping our lakes clean! Metropolitan Sewage is a sponsor of the annual Med Drop here in Madison which prevents thousands of unwanted medicines from going into our waterways.  If Mark had any piece of information he wants EnAct participants to know it is to collect your household grease and put it in the trash and not down the sink where it can clog up pipes and decrease sewage functionality.  Sustainability to Mark is practicing behaviors that try to reduce waste- whether that is solid waste, energy waste or water waste.  As for Mark’s sustainability weak spot- he says he needs to cut back on driving-though this is hard to do with teenage kids in the house.
