October was Power Smart month at BC Hydro. As part of a collective effort to reduce energy consumption and raise awareness about living more efficiently, participating restaurants and cafes along Commercial Drive dimmed their lights for an evening and traded in electronic music for live acoustic acts.
It's November now, but that's no reason to douse the candles. Designating one night a week as a candlelit evening is a great way to cut back on both energy and money spent this winter. Have a romantic dinner, turn off the TV and play board games together, break out the instruments and make some music, make shadow puppets on the wall, re-enact scenes from your favourite Victorian novel -- remember how much fun you could get up to during thunderstorms when the lights couldn't be turned on?
If you're really thinking sustainable, look for beeswax candles or -- better yet -- make your own. Click here for some tips on making candles at home. Why not make a day of it and spend the evening enjoying the glow of candles you've made with your own hands?
