The township of Montville, New Jersey, got a head start on the Fourth of July with a Montville Independence Day Celebration on June 25-27. The three days of events featured everything from an environmental fair and a car show to fireworks and performances by singing “Montville Idol” competitors.

Project Porchlight was on hand for all three days of events, which proved to be a great opportunity to educate Montville about the energy savings offered by compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs as well as the energy efficiency programs that are available through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP).

A total of 247 CFL bulbs were distributed, part of Project Porchlight New Jersey’s campaign to distribute energy-efficient light bulbs to residents across the state. Project Porchlight is an initiative of One Change, and the campaign is made possible thanks to funding by the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and NJCEP.

When it comes to protecting our environment, simple actions really do matter. Even something as simple as changing a light bulb can make a difference. By connecting with state residents one at a time, Project Porchlight is empowering people of all backgrounds to make smart, energy-efficient choices that protect the environment. And that, too, is cause for celebration!
