There is a new mentality when it comes to energy conservation and creating better habits - get them while they’re young! Just like with DARE and recycling, starting energy education early will lead to better habits down the road…and we all know kids nag their parents so the message is sure to spread.A couple of weeks ago, in celebration of October’s Energy Awareness Month, Dominion set up a display of kid friendly activities at a local Lowe’s store in Richmond, VA. Activities included a coloring contest, a pedal generator, a lighting display and face painting.
The event promoted Dominion’s Lighting Program, where customers receive automatic discounts on CFLs at participating stores, and also educated kids on why conserving energy is important. We had a great turnout and will be holding similar events at other Lowe’s stores in Virginia:
- November 13, 2010 - 6750 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA
- November 20, 2010 - 45430 Dulles Crossing Plaza, Sterling, VA
- December 11, 2010 - 15150 Montanus Drive, Culpeper, VA

I am very excited to bring my boys to the Richmond events! Thanks!
keep on posting...
need events more wide spread so more employees can get involved, not to mention it would get more of the public involved and give us a better public image.
