(He began flying out to the DreamWorks studio so often, in fact, that he eventually rented a house in Bel Air, Calif.)

Sultana High School in San Bernardino, Calif., used basic conservation techniques, like shutting off lights and equipment when not in use, to cut its energy bill by $100,000--half of which Sultana was allowed to keep for its own use.
