Electricity Impact Day
Tip of the Day: Facilities like schools, office buildings and libraries use a lot of electricity. They also have a high potential to save a significant amount of electricity! Take a look around your office or classroom today and see if there are any lights that can be shut off or unused equipment that can be unplugged.

Save the Watt Wednesday
Join us today for a Lunch 'n Learn session at City Hall from 12:00 to 1:00, or from 1:00 - 2:00
Tip of the Day: Try cooking dinner in a toaster oven, microwave or on a barbeque, or have a totally fresh meal that doesn't need to be cooked at all! This will save you a few watts and avoid your house heating up from cooking.
