Porchlight's growing. We have three city campaigns confirmed (Whitehorse, Guelph and Thunder Bay) and strong interest from three other provinces. Just this week I was in Calgary to meet with a prospective partner from the oil patch. I know what you're thinking: Oil company sponsor an environment project? I was impressed with this company. The people looked me right in the eye. They're good folks. And if they come on board, we will change bulbs everywhere.

Tomorrow Suzy and I head to Washington to meet with the US Environmental Protection Agency/Energy Star to talk about Porchlight and to learn about plans for their 2007 Change a Lightbulb, Change the World campaign. Again, these people are great; we met them for the first time in Toronto last year when Porchlight won an Energy Star Market Transformation Award. Seems like ages ago.

This is all very exciting. Bewildering, really. And tons of work. Satisfying, but exhausting too. Wonderful.
