Project Porchlight Blog

These other Porchlight bloggers are running circles around me these days. Time for the web guy to chip in. I have a reputation to protect.

First, a warm welcome to those who have discovered Project Porchlight from way out there in the far reaches of the interweb. We've been on the front page of Hugg and our renovated Boler trailer has been discussed in at least two forums over the past little while. Our friends Andrea and Miss Vicky have provided some link love on their weblogs - thank you both! Oh, and we were in the Ottawa Citizen last week sometime, too.

Prospective volunteers may be a little hesitant to jump in and get involved in Porchlight. If you fall into this somewhat uncertain category, we'd love to tell you a little bit more about what volunteering for us involves. Our volunteer information sessions are just the thing! Please plan to attend a get-together and we'll tell you what the Porchlight volunteer experience is really like.

Over at the Environmental Defense website, Dr. Bill is answering questions about global warming. Check his article out for a sensible discussion on choosing CFLs, proper disposal of our bulbs, and other conservation ideas.

Oh, and I must take a moment to offer a ringing endorsement of the new album, 'World Container', by Canadian rock and roll legends the Tragically Hip. Of course, the Hip are a group of musicians that are both environmentally and socially aware, but let's forget about that for a second - the fact is, World Container rocks. It's in high rotation over here, and a must own for you.
