Saving the Planet One Bulb at a Time
July 19, 2008
"How do you feel about saving more than $1.7 million just by changing a light bulb?
Those participating in Project Porchlight, a community-based energy efficiency campaign, could contribute to such results, said Heidi Conant, the Project Porchlight campaign coordinator. Project
Porchlight volunteers will deliver 36,000 compact fluorescent light bulbs to residents of the Burlington area by the end of July to save communities energy and money, Conant said.
"We're asking people to go into communities, knock on doors and engage neighbors," Conant said. "It's friends telling friends how they can make a difference by changing a light bulb."
By replacing 36,000 incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs, Vermonters will cut down on carbon dioxide emissions by 8,000 tons through the lifespan of the CFL bulbs, Conant said.
