The World Wildlife Federation has come up with a wonderful winter idea. On February 17, they want everybody to turn down the thermostat by 3°C, and put on a fun sweater for National Sweater Day!

The gesture is meant to raise awareness that small steps toward energy conservation can make a big difference in helping the planet. About half of Canada's ecological footprint is the result of carbon emissions from transportation, heating and electricity. The kick off to this event brought some fun snaps from a fashion show featuring sweaters created by leading Canadian designers.
