A Couple of Campaign Updates!

 

Doors Closed!

As I'm sure you all know, the Conservation Council, with the support of
numerous partners, launched the 2006 Doors Closed campaign on July 13th.
Allegra prepared the following update which includes a call for volunteers
and photos.  

 

Lighten Up, Ontario!

Our second campaign, Lighten Up, will be launched in the week of August 7,
but you may see the posters and pledge cards in Beer Stores by the August
5th long weekend.  Lighten Up asks people to make a personal pledge to use
less electricity this year.  Similar to Doors Closed, the campaign links
focuses on simple actions but also connects people to advisory services that
will help them go deeper.  For more details on the campaign, see
http://www.weconserve.ca/lightenup.html and please send me an e-mail
<mailto:cco at web.ca?subject=Lighten%20Up%20campaign>  if you are interested
in using the campaign to co-promote your programs!

 

 

Hope you are all having a great summer,

Chris Winter
