The Wawa Green Project at the Wawa Blueberry Fall Festival

Sep 26, 2017 @ 08:07

The Wawa Green Project enjoyed a successful weekend at the Annual Blueberry Fall Festival. Our table was situated in the “Energy Hub” which included Algoma Power Inc., Algoma Energy Solutions and Buywise Consulting. The Green Project was joined by Kieran O’Neill of Buywise Consulting, who booked 5 energy audits over the weekend. Kieran helps to audit how energy efficient your home is and can give you up to $5000 in rebates off of high energy upgrades.

Visitors to the Green Project table were pleased with the opportunity to get free toilet tank banks to save water, a chance to win an energy savings gift basket, a chance to win a composter, and free yard waste bags. The yard bags were surprisingly popular, since the program began, we’ve given away 675 bags to help divert yard waste from our landfill and instead turn it into compost! The Green Project also demonstrated the Heat Gun and many patrons were looking forward to their opportunity to rent it to learn where heat may be escaping their homes.

Now for the moment that everyone who entered our draws are waiting for. From the 93 total draw entries that we received, the winner of the energy savings gift basket is Maryanne Mitrikas, while the winner of the composter is Emma Desgagne! Congratulations to both of you, the Green Project knows that you will put your winnings to good use.

Stayed tuned because the green project will be gearing up for even more eco-projects during the fall and winter months!
