www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday March 22, 2008 - 5 Businesses can join Earth Hour As Oakville's Municipal Energy Conservation Officer, I'm encouraging not only residents to get involved with Earth Hour, but business owners as well. Earth Hour takes place Saturday, March 29 from 8- 9 p.m. when cities across the world will turn off their lights to show that it's possible to take action on global warming. Here's how businesses can support Earth Hour and reduce their energy consumption: · Sign up at www.earthhour.org. Join the list of Oakville businesses supporting Earth Hour including: Oakville Place Shopping Centre, Ford of Canada Limited, Prudential Town Centre Realty, M&M Meat Shops, Marriott Fairfield Inn and Whole Foods Market. For a complete list, and to download tip sheets and posters, visit www.oakville.ca/earthhour.htm. · Turn off the lights. Turn off all non-essential lighting during Earth Hour including exterior signs, and then look into automatic systems that turn off lights during non-business hours. · Offer Dinner by Candlelight. Serve your guests by candlelight, reduce lighting where possible and create a special Earth Hour themed menu. · Promote Energy Conservation. Provide your employees, tenants, customers and suppliers with information on your energy conservation efforts through an email, a newsletter or onsite posters. Post a "We're in. Are You?" Earth Hour poster in window displays and office notice boards. · Get Creative. If your business has several offices around town or even in other cities, create a challenge to your employees for energy conservation ideas and see what location is most energy conscious. · Switch to Green Power. Green Power is electricity generated from renewable energy sources and it reduces our reliance on electricity from the harmful burning of fossil fuels. Visit www.oakvillehydro.com/greenpower_business.asp for details. · Learn more about how to be energy wise. Create a list of energy conservation initiatives and programs your business can participate in year-round. Now is the time to commit to making changes, not only for Earth Hour, but also for the future.

I have recently invested in a dental laser that can treat cavities in you or your children s teeth without the drilling sound or vibration. The Laser treatment can lead to a decrease in the amount of anesthetic that is required during the visit to treat the cavity and improve the overall dental experience for you and your child.
