This year, National Sweater Day falls on Tuesday, February 5th.
National Sweater Day is an annual awareness event organized by the Canadian section of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
On that day, the WWF calls on all citizens to lower their thermostats by 2° C at home, at school and at work so as to highlight the importance of conserving energy and slowing climate change. The goal is to get the general public to reflect on daily energy use so as to move towards more environmentally sound energy consumption habits. According to WWF Canada data, heating accounts for close to 80 % of Canada’s residential energy consumption.
