MLGW Hosts Conservation Day at Southern Women’s Show

Where there’s shopping, you will often find women, and the Southern Women’s Show is no exception. But at this year’s show, there will also be women learning about home energy conservation as MLGW hosts Conservation Day at the Southern Women’s Show on Saturday, March 13 at the Agricenter (7777 Walnut Grove Road.)

MLGW volunteers will be at the event distributing 1,000 conservation kits with materials to assist attendees in lowering home energy consumption and sharing energy saving tips to help customers save money on utility costs.

For those looking to learn even more, MLGW will be conducting daily EnergySmart workshops from March 12-14 at the expo. In the one hour workshop, attendees learn do-it-yourself home improvements and receive the latest fashion accessory - an EnergySmart tote bag (valued at $45) filled with energy conservation materials.

Since 2008, MLGW has hosted its Conservation Day at Shelby County Exxon on the Run stores and MLGW Community Offices. “Women are major influencers on household purchases and behavior. Participating in an event such as this allows MLGW to share information which can impact home energy factors such as thermostat settings, appliance purchases and home improvements,” said Clinton Richardson, MLGW Customer Relations Manager.

The Southern Women’s Show is an annual expo event focusing on art, business, education, fashion, fitness, food, health, home, leisure and travel. Be sure to visit the MLGW booth. For more information regarding tickets and schedule click here.
