Campaign Off to a Strong Start!

The Greener Together Campaign is off to a strong start! Last week, we visited our first few buildings to provide Resident Education Kits. Shout outs to our friends at 300 and 325 Webb Drive and 3590 Kaneff Crescent in Mississauga; and 120 Colborne Street and 375 Buena Vista Avenue in Oshawa! You should have all received your kits (demonstrated by the crazy guy to the left), but if not, make sure to check with your Property Manager, as they will have extras.

If you are reading this right now, then a special shout out to you for taking time out of your day to visit greenertogether.ca! It means a lot!

Now that you are here, I’ll give you some direction around the site. For some quick, easy tips, check out our “Tip Notebook” on our homepage and don’t forget to click through all the tabs. For some more in-depth tips and facts AND links to helpful websites and campaigns, go to our “Links and Tips” page. Read some of my previous blogs to find out more about CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs) and more!

And finally, I want to encourage you all to sign up for our monthly newsletter. When you do, not only will you be up to speed with the energy efficiency world, but you’ll be entered into a monthly draw to win an awesome prize! Details on how awesome this prize is and what it is will be discussed in my next blog… Stay tuned…

And remember, if you guys have any questions about energy efficiency, our website, what you can do to be more green, or anything, just message us at info@greenertogether.ca! In fact if you want to just say hi or hear a green joke, we’re here for that too! Have a great week!
