Yes, it’s HOT in Charleston in the summertime.
But we can Keep It Cool this summer with the help of a new energy conservation campaign led by engaged citizens around the country.
Together, we can Keep it Cool, Charleston!
Here’s how:
Thousands of stores around the country keep their doors open to attract customers while running the Air Conditioning. This practice wastes a ton of money and electricity, with each open-door store polluting the atmosphere with over 2 tons of CO2 over the summer. If retail stores around the country closed their doors, it would save enough energy to power all Charleston homes for over four months.
You can help stop this wasteful practice in Charleston with the Keep It Cool Campaign! When you notice a store wasting energy with open doors or conserving energy with closed doors, grab your phone, open Facebook Messenger, and share the location with Generation 180. Generation 180 will reach out to the retailers to recognize stores with closed doors and remind stores with open doors that this wasteful habit drives up costs, wastes energy, and increases pollution- and it isn’t even proven to attract customers!
Grab your phone and start sharing your appreciation for conscientious businesses in the Lowcountry, and gentle nudges for those who need a little encouragement to Keep it Cool.
