Sometimes big ideas start in small places. And this Earth Day, we salute those who are willing to make a change for the better. In Turner Valley, Alberta, they officially banned styrofoam today. Sounds kind of radical, eh? Well, let's look at the reasons the town leaders would choose to do this.

The Jewel of the North will be shining brighter as Slave Lake attendees embrace our energy-efficiency campaign to light up the town. Fourteen volunteers signed up to help get over 1,800 bulbs distributed to their neighbours in Slave Lake. Many others enthusiastically endorsed the benefits of making the switch from incandescent bulbs to more efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.

Looking for a career promoting community-based environmental sustainability! Well, look no further! One Change is hiring, and we'd love to hear from you. If you live in Alberta or Vermont, please visit our Careers page. Other campaigns are in the works, so check back often!

Congratulations to EnCana, one of the funders of Project Porchlight Alberta, for their international awards that they received last week at Globe 2008!
