My apologies, readers, the horse is almost out of the barn on this one, but it’s worth mentioning that BC Hydro has been conducting a series of Power Smart events at London Drugs and there’s one left to catch.
These feature BC Hydro representatives live in-store, setting up information kiosks and interacting with customers. The Power Smart kiosks are touch-screen informational systems where customers can learn all sorts of energy tips and tricks. The reps also give out detailed information around energy conservation, speak to various product categories and usually bring some type of fun interactive activity. (Complete with prizes, I am told)
BC Hydro is also supporting price reductions on a number of products in London Drugs. Select CFL specialty bulbs are $3 off, ENERGY STAR fixtures are $5-$10 off and ENERGY STAR appliances have a $50 mail in rebate.
So head to Nanaimo April 16th and join in the green fun. You can also visit the BC Hydro Power Smart web site for a big pile of energy tips and info.
Hydro also tells me they will next be launching a campaign focused on ENERGY STAR Tier 2 TVs. So, if you’ll pardon the expression, stay tuned.
