CFLs shed old light on greenhouse-gas problem
Don Butler, Ottawa Citizen, October 15, 2008--Switching to more efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs would cut lighting energy demand by nearly 40 per cent and eliminate 900 million tonnes of greenhouse gases a year globally by 2030, according to a U.S. study.

One Change was honoured to be a part of the first annual Corporate Social Responsibility Conference on December 3rd.

One change doesn’t sound so small when 700,000 people do it.
That’s exactly what’s happened so far in Alberta this year. 700,000 households have accepted one of our CFLs, making one change that’s added up to something really big.

300,000 Energy Efficient Bulbs to Light up Alberta as part of National Environmental Campaign

Project Porchlight hit up the grand opening of the Athabasca Regional Multiplex on March 8th. Our team handed out free CFLs and chatted with the friendly townsfolk who stopped by to visit. We're looking forward to a green spring (and beyond) in Athabasca!

After meeting with the Athabasca Town Council last month, Project Porchlight is now in full swing. The Town is distributing CFLs from its office at 4705 49th Avenue, handing out free bulbs when residents come in to pay their utility bills.
Many thanks to Melody Wolansky, Director of Finance and Administration; she had a big hand in making things happen.

Project Porchlight is excited to announce a partnership with the Alberta Junior Forest Warden Association (AJFWA) in our campaign to delivery 500,000 energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs to Albertans.

Did you catch Stuart's appearance on CBC's Wildrose Country on Friday? Our executive director was in Alberta this week to prepare for this weekend's bulb blitz in towns and cities across the province, and took a few minutes to chat with host Holly Preston about our campaign.

Community development coordinator Scott Payne made a presentation today to the Athabasca Town Council. He introduced Project Porchlight and answered questions about the Alberta leg of our campaign.
