Shining a (low-watt LED) light on energy conservation

Do you remember where you were three years ago on August 14?

Well like 50 million other people, you were probably waiting for your power to come back on, after overworked power grids failed on the Eastern Seaboard.

Today on the third anniversary of the big blackout, the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority announced a two-day Energy Forum and Trade Show to help stop citizens from sitting in the dark on energy conservation methods.

The Energy Forum and Trade Show will be held October 13 and 14 at Nipissing University. Topics such as wind energy, bio-fuels, landfill projects, energy conservation incentive programs and solar power will be covered via guest speakers, interactive workshops and the Efficient Energy Trade Show.

The first day of the event will host a business to business forum, highlighting methods of how to make a business more energy efficient. The second day of the event will be open to the general public, and will provide methods of save on energy around the home, and information on sustainable energy.

The event, which is the first of its kind in the region, is aimed at educating the public on how much we rely on current methods of generating energy, as well as the need to develop new methods of creating energy to satisfy our needs of the future.

Admission is free for the Consumer Efficient Energy Trade Show.
Admission to the Business to Business Forum is $65, and includes breakfast and lunch.
