Operation Power Down Community Challenge!
Blackout Day is Thursday, August 14, 2008.
Remember the blackout?
Five years ago, August 14th, Ontario and much of eastern North America was plunged into a blackout that lasted several days. In that time of crisis, people organized barbecues, held street parties, and we rediscovered the importance of conservation.
These things are worth celebrating. Take up the challenge and help the City of Guelph compete in the 5th anniversary of the 2003 Blackout Day, held this coming Thursday, August 14th.
Individuals:
Power Down for the day and celebrate conservation - tell your friends, plan a Blackout Day party,
spread the word...
Stores and Restaurants:
Power Down for the day and offer Blackout Day specials, become a sponsor...
Offices:
Power Down and turn off unnecessary equipment...
Municipalities:
