Kudos from South Burlington
Posted by Dan | September 3, 2008

Encouraging words from Dave in South Burlington, who received one of our bulbs during our recent campaign in Vermont:

"I want to express my appreciation not only for all the leg work that you guys have done, but for also giving out an excellent first time bulb for those who may have never used - or even thought of using - CFLs. Often the first experience guides the next purchase. Thanks again."

Thank You Vermont Volunteers!
Posted by lauren | August 5, 2008

Hello Porchlight Vermont Volunteers! We cannot thank you enough for your hard work and dedication to the Project Porchlight Campaign this summer-you made it happen! Thank you for spreading the message that "simple actions matter" throughout your neighborhoods, one door at a time, and for helping others to save energy and to believe that they too can take action against global warming.

Porchlight Vermont Hits a Homerun at Lake Monsters Game
Posted by lauren | July 31, 2008

"Candy here! Get your candy here! Don't forget to get your CFL! Start saving energy now!" shouted a Lake Monsters staffer who so kindly took up the OneChange message while passing out candy to the crowd at Sunday's ballgame. On June 27, Project Porchlight Vermont cheered on Burlington's own professional baseball team as they passed out more than 800 CFLs to local fans.
