NJTransit.com (New Jersey): Simple Actions Matter in New Jersey

Posted January 11, 2010 by Neil

Project Porchlight staff, partners, and volunteers are handing out ENERGY STAR® qualified compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs at events and door to door throughout New Jersey.

Distributing energy-efficient light bulbs is the first step in making energy conservation accessible, relevant, and personal by giving regular people the power to save money, energy, and help save the planet.

Join the thousands of New Jersey residents, homeowners, businesses, and municipalities that are lowering their energy usage, saving $30 over the lifetime of each CFL bulb, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions simply by switching one old-fashioned incandescent light bulb for a CFL.

Get started today! To become a volunteer, call 888-767-2458 or visit www.porchlight.org.

Project Porchlight is funded by New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program™ (NJCEP) and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities as part of the Green New Jersey Resource Team.
