It’s My Imagination

Super Target is Energy Efficient

I went shopping at our new Super Target this afternoon and I learned something very interesting.  To some, this may be not worth noting, but I found it very surprising and was very impressed.  So, you’re wondering, what is it that Target is doing to impress me?  Well, they are using energy efficient lighting in their frozen foods section!

You see, although the store is new, only open a couple of weeks, the store wasn’t very busy this afternoon and I was having a nice shopping experience.  I wheeled my cart around the end of the aisle and entered the frozen food section.  I just happened to notice a light in one of the glass front freezers going on.  I was thinking how it was surprising to all ready have faulty lighting in a brand new store, when I noticed something else.  As I was making my way down the aisle, both sides lined with glass front freezers, the lights were turning on inside the cases.  Then I noticed it.  Each case had a motion sensor attached so it knew I was coming and lit up so I could see what was inside!  Energy efficient lighting in the freezer section, now that’s going green in a very smart way!

So, here’s to you Target!  You scored big points today with me and I will be coming back!
