"Let Your Green Show" encourages residents to do something, get something and turn their neighbourhoods green. Launched in July 2012, the first phase of the campaign was developed through a partnership with the City of Mississauga and the Region of Peel to promote environmental actions found in the Living Green Master Plan and Peel Climate Change Strategy. During this phase, participants were encouraged to “grow local, eat local” by visiting a Peel farm, greenhouse or nursery or Mississauga Farmers’ Market, or planting a tree or shrub. “Greenback” rewards were selected once an action was chosen from the Let Your Green Show website and ranged from $5 off a purchase at a farmers’ market to a free organic vegetable garden consultation. | ||

A city-wide street lighting conversion project will not only reduce light pollution and improve visibility, it will provide future energy and maintenance savings. The City is making a $26 million conservation commitment by converting approximately 49,000 street lights from High Pressure Sodium technology to Light Emitting Diode (LED), and by acquiring a Street Lighting Monitoring System. The LED street lights will emit a more natural white light in city neighbourhoods, compared to the traditional yellow orange coloured light. | ||
