	A greener Valentine's

February 2023

This month, we serve up ways to love the planet this Valentine's Day, tips for avoiding a thermostat fight at home, and we sit down with three women in science at BC Hydro. We also delve into ways the Super Bowl, and sports facilities here in B.C., are reducing their eco footprint, and how a B.C. developer-builder is delivering ultra-efficient all-electric apartment buildings affordably. Plus, applications for BC Hydro community group grants are now open.
