Recognize your (green) champions!

Socorro — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 11:27:04 -0500

Have you heard about the Canadian Geographic Environmental Awards? Nominations for this green-inspired award have past, but there must be community-based awards and recognitions that take place all over this fine province of ours.

What will we do without Dryden-time?

I'm concerned as to what is going to happen in the next few weeks because part of my routine has been to either arrange a trip to Dryden, email the folks in Dryden a few times a week, arrange for others to go to Dryden, pick up shipments from Dryden, hand out bulbs in Dryden, arrange to hand out strings of LED lights in Dryden, and drink copious amounts of coffee in Dryden.

Green the season this weekend!

Most of us have seen seasonal LED strings in the past couple of years, either on store shelves or hanging from neighbour's houses and trees. They're the brighter, better holiday lights that not only look more colorful and vivid, but also use about 95% less electricity than your old incandescent-style light strings.

Porchlight + Dryden Forever

We're baaaaaack!

This time we're handing out bulbs at the local Canadian Tire on Saturday. But not only are we handing out bulbs (did you get your free bulb yet?!) we're also participating in the Christmas light exchange.

Did you pick up your bulb yet?!

Attention all Drydenites!

Did you get a bulb delivered yet? If not, did you pick up your free energy efficient, fabulously bright bulb from Timbermax, Kuznick's, City Hall, or Home Hardware yet?

If not, why not?! Next time you're out & about, be sure to pick up your bulb if you didn't get one yet.

Help us green the season! Volunteers needed November 17 and 18

One Change is undertaking a special energy-saving initiative this holiday season, with a Seasonal Light Exchange to take place at retail stores across Ontario. We need volunteers in the locations listed below to make it happen!

Drydenites are the bees knees!

Dryden has been bulbified!

Utterly and completely - from one side of town to the other. And it was no small feat, let me tell you. But one thing is for certain, Dryden is totally into energy conservation, and do they ever band together!

Students: log those volunteer hours with Project Porchlight

We've brought on a number of field staff to help ensure that our distribution campaigns are going smoothly out there in communities across Ontario.
