Next week, Ontarians will be asked to pledge to do something - anything - to help conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gases.If you wish, you can even fill out an official pledge, promising to take actions to help.If you're looking for ideas, the official website offers 100 ways - large and small - that you can make a change. Some of them are obvious, like using a clothesline to dry clothes or installing energy-efficient lightbulbs. Others may be less so, such as strategically planting coniferous trees to protect your house from winter winds, or staying at "green-rated" hotels when travelling. (I'd never heard of that before -- for more information click the link to visit the Green TravelGuide.)
The week is being organized by a number of groups, including the Province of Ontario, the Ontario Power Authority and Hydro One. Click the link for more information. - Caleigh
