660 News (Calgary, AB): The Calgary Tower literally goes green!
Posted March 14, 2009 by OneChange

Look up, way up and you'll notice the lights on the Calgary Tower have turned green!

It's to help celebrate the successful conclusion of Alberta's "Project Porchlight" campaign. This two year event involved delivering 800,000 energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs to Albertans by more than 4,000 volunteers.

The green coloured CFL light bulbs were donated to the Calgary Tower by One Change, a non-profit organization that created the award-winning "Project Porchlight' campaign.

Over 2,000 volunteers will be bused to the Telus Convention Centre Sunday afternoon for the thank you wrap-up event in their honour.

The new light bulbs will save the Calgary Tower $12,000 in energy savings and cut 104 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from being released in the air.
