DP Energy – Solar Projects Open House – January 22, 2020.

Annotation 2020-01-15 204841

“DP Energy is proposing two solar projects to be developed on brownfield sites in southeast Calgary. As part of our public consultation process (regulated by the Alberta Utilities Commission), we have identified you as a stakeholder that may have an interest in one or both projects.

We are committed to engaging with landowners, residents, businesses, members of the local community and public stakeholders, and look forward to continuing a conversation with you as we continue to develop our project application. We value your input as an essential part of our development process.

As such we invite you to attend our open house on January 22, 2020 to share your thoughts and have your questions answered. We look forward to meeting you!”

Reduce, reuse and recycle right this holiday season!

This holiday season, make sure your gift wrap, boxes and Christmas food scraps end up in the right cart. Better yet, make even less waste to put in a bin by reducing and reusing more items this Christmas!

 

Reduce waste this Christmas

  • Gift the gift of an experience – tickets, lessons, outdoor activities
  • Check what you have at home in the fridge/pantry before you shop
  • Make a list and buy only what you need at the grocery store
  • Skip paper napkins in favour of cloth ones

Reuse items this Christmas

  • Wrap gifts with paper bags/gift boxes, jars and tins, fabrics or dishtowels
  • Use reusable containers for leftovers instead of plastic wrap or tin foil
  • Save bones for soup stock
  • Donate gently used household items like working electronics, furniture, clothing, and toys to a local charity

Recycle and compost right this Christmas

  • Crumple wrapping paper into a ball and put in blue cart (no metallic or foil gift wrap)
  • Compost food scraps, toothpicks, paper napkins and paper plates in green cart
  • Recycle tin cans, glass jars and plastic containers. Make sure they are empty, clean and dry.

Take old electronics to an electronics recycling drop-off – calgary.ca/electronics
