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

What better way to celebrate Canada Day than with a festival of lights? The busy Environment staff at CFB Wainwright volunteered their time over the holiday long weekend to distribute bulbs to the military community.

No one can accuse regional coordinator Dirk Bannister of not being a team player. He spent his wedding anniversary - June 20th - at the Wainwright Stampede handing out CFLs and promoting Project Porchlight. (Don't feel too badly for his wife; they had a nice celebration the following evening.)
Here's what Dirk had to say about the event:

Hello! Welcome to the Project Porchlight home page for our campaign in Wainwright. We're glad that you've found us!
