Westside restaurant owners are dimming the lights and lighting the candles and not just because theyre hopeless romantics.
During Earth Week, they and other businesses are getting unplugged. They are deliberately reducing their energy use to raise awareness of our need to reduce consumption of the earths resources.
More than 200 businesses are taking part in Westside Unplugged from April 14 to 22. Participants will display posters outlining how they are saving energy, as well as any promotional offers.
Patrons will be given thumbs-up stickers that they can put on the posters with their favourite ideas.
Businesses that want to take it a step further can sign up for a free energy audit offered by the City of 麻豆传媒映画in partnership with LiveSmart BC and the 麻豆传媒映画Economic Commission.
