In order to remain energy conscious in an energy intense industry, we place great worth on using the power we need efficiently and sustainably. To continue our forward thinking, BCE has decided to install a photovoltaic system which will be able to preform at a kilowatt peak of approximately 100. The system is intended primarily … Continue reading
Two weeks after the devastating earthquake in Nepal another massive quake occurred in the Himalayan state. The massive aftershock brought more houses to collapse. After the quake on 25 April almost half a million homes were destroyed or severely damaged in Nepal. Millions of Nepalis are currently living in tents and are dependent on food … Continue reading
