Right now the plan is to get beeswax Hanukkah candles from a supplier in Lanark for the EarthHour vigil.  Beeswax is nice (paraffin is not!) and I’m happy to support an Ottawa Valley business.  My task this week is to contact BeeGlo and get a bulk purchase quote.  Can you make a donation to help us cover the event costs?

A collaborator brought up the idea of looking for a vegan candle.  I’m guessing they’ll be more expensive but we don’t have to buy hundreds of them.  Maybe just enough to give those that want one the option.  Let me know if you have an idea on where to get a soy/hemp or other type of candle.  Hopefully it will be smaller – we don’t want to be giving out 6 hour candles for a 1 hour event!

Time to pick up the phone and give BeeGlow a call.
