What are you wearing for WWF’s National Sweater Day? WWF February 10, 2011 Share: Share This Page: Share with Facebook Share via Twitter Share via Linkedin Share in email How can we stay warm without wasting energy in the Canadian winter? Get Sweatered! To support WWF’s National Sweater Day, presented by Loblaw Companies Limited (Loblaw), on February 17, WWF is asking Canadians to show their support for the fight against climate change by wearing fun, funky sweaters in real life and online and turning down the thermostat by three degrees. “Canadians have a real chance to benefit from turning down their thermostats,” said Gerald Butts, WWF’s President and CEO. “Energy conservation is an important part of fighting climate change, and we want to show Canadians how comfortable they can be with their homes and business a few degrees cooler and their sweaters a few centimeters thicker.” So many sweaters to choose from Looking for inspiration? Check out the images from our recent Sweater Day fashion show, where leading Canadian designers donated sweaters that will be auctioned off on eBay to support WWF’s work on climate and energy issues. The sweaters , created by designers Allison Wonderland, aime by Monica Mei, dace (two sweaters), Heidi Ackerman, Lucian Matis, Pink Cobra, Preloved (two sweaters), Thieves, and Zoran Dobric, can also be seen in their full glory on this footage of the fashion show where they were first presented. Canadians can also test a variety of looks with WWF’s new ‘Get Sweatered’ Facebook app, where you can choose between sweaters, accessories, hairstyles and more. Check out the hilarious photos from our fans in our Sweater Day album. Plastic bags lead to sweaters There aren’t any recycled plastic sweaters, but WWF’s National Sweater Day is made possible by the generous support of Loblaw Companies Limited with partial proceeds from the national charge-for-plastic shopping bag program. In 2010, the program led to a 73 per cent reduction of plastic shopping bags from Loblaw stores. “Conservation is important to Loblaw, which is why we’re so pleased that the success of our national charge-for-plastic shopping bag program is helping to both reduce the number of plastic shopping bags in Canada and to support programs that encourage Canadians to conserve energy,” said Bob Chant, Vice-President, Corporate Affairs, Loblaw Companies Limited.
