Thank you to the Awareness Subcommittee members of the Burlington Sustainable Development Advisory Committee for helping to plan a great Let’s Live Green event. Thank you also to the exhibitors and presenters who provided practical information about how we can all do our part to reduce our impact on the environment. Here are a few highlights that you might have missed:
- Engaging our community, including our youth, in local sustainability issues.
Suggestions from local residents to ‘green’ our community. 
Using RetroViewers to see what Uptown Burlington (Appleby Line & Upper Middle Road area) could look like in future.
- Using your own power to make a smoothie; a workout and snack at the same time!
- Electric vehicle test drives, chatting with EV owners about their experiences, a driving simulator for an eco-friendly driver rating, checking out car share vehicles, and playing a bean bag toss game with Smart Commute staff for a chance to win prizes.
- Speaking with industry experts about how to ‘green’ buildings and renovations.
- Finding out how to reduce your energy bills.
- Installing solar panels with Grasshopper Solar or investing in solar with Solar Share Co-operative.
