UNPLUGGED!

UNPLUGGED! Energy Conservation Week 2008 ~ May 25th - 31st.

Do you have a clothespin? Want to help raise energy awareness and promote energy conservation? Then join C.A.R.E. Stratford's Unplugged Campaign by writing "UNPLUGGED!" on a clothespin and wearing it for the week. Use this as a reminder to look for ways to reduce energy and as a conversation starter to encourage others to do likewise. "Everyone needs reminders now and then to look for ways to reduce our impact on the planet and the clothespin seemed like the perfect symbol for our Unplugged Campaign."said organizer Kerry McManus.

Energy Conservation Week in Ontario began on Sunday, May 25th and runs until the 31st. The campaign was launched at St. Marys DCVI with John Wilkinson, MPP; Jamie Hahn, Mayor of St. Marys; Dan Mathieson, Mayor of Stratford; Janet Baird-Jackson, Superintendent for the AMDSB and Doug MacDougall, Festival Hydro Chair on Friday May 23rd.
C.A.R.E. Stratford encourages you to look for ways to unplug and conserve energy. Enjoy time with family and friends away from the computer and television screens.
