It's Clothes Line Time: Save on Energy and Get Paid for It!

Remember that oh-so-fresh smell of clothes off the line when you were a kid? Around here, it's probably a combination of our lush forests and the fresh breeze from the Strait. You can bring back that fragrant feeling by joining Team Power Smart with BC Hydro; you'll be on the road to fresh smelling clothes plus a whole lot more!

The first 1000 participants will receive a FREE Sustainable U clothesline package, courtesy of Windsor Plywood, to help you lower your electricity consumption. As a team member, however, you could also receive cash! Lower your electricity consumption by 10% and BC Hydro will mail you a 75$ cheque.

Sustainable U has teamed up with BC Hydro to offer the clothes line package, which is just one of the ways you can lower your electricity consumption--clothes dryers are energy hungry appliances. By using a clothesline, you'll save energy, reduce your carbon footprint and your clothes will last longer and smell great.

As well as a chance to earn cash, Team Power Smart members will also get tracking graphs, chances to enter contests, interactive tools to compare your home to similar households and a host of tips and stories to help you lower your energy consumption and keep money in your pocket.

You'll find all the information you need at bchydro.com/teampowersmart. Sign up online and join thousands of Team Power Smart members who have already received their cheque for 75$.

Here at Sustainable U, you'll also find tips on sustainable pratices for all your daily living--from cycling to laundry, local markets to saving our world's oceans, Sustainable U has the answers. Now those in the know are also those with more dough; what would you do with 75?
