Project Porchlight Rallies for Energy-Saving Campaign

Project Porchlight, a nonprofit energy-efficiency campaign run by One Change, met with partners of the NJ Green Resource Team to roll out a new statewide initiative to save NJ homeowners on energy costs and their carbon footprint.

Girl Scout Troop #1126 of South Orange, New Jersey, sold its Girl Scout cookies as usual this year. But when the time came to deliver the cookies, they did something a little bit different.

You don’t need to be an expert on environmental issues to volunteer for Project Porchlight. You don’t need to give up a whole lot of your time, either.

All that is required is a morning or an afternoon, a little enthusiasm, and an interest in helping to protect the environment. And most importantly, the willingness to have some fun!

Project Porchlight is a grassroots campaign, and our success is defined by volunteer support.

Project Porchlight bulb recipient, Russ Lande, runs one of the best sports scouting services around. The NFL draft analyst from South Orange, New Jersey, is an expert at picking out quarterbacks who turn into stars.
