Loading ...Last week, in my mailbox appeared a brand new fluorescent lightbulb. Watch your mailbox closely this season - you’ll probably be gifted with one too!
So who’s the secret santa? Meet Project Porchlight - an eco-initiative of non-profit Ottawa organization One Change. Back in 2004, One Change founder Stuart Hickox met inspiration in the following statistic:
‘If every household in Canada replaced a single incandescent lightbulb with a fluorescent, the effect would be equal to removing 66,000 cars from the road.’
That’s the power of simple actions orchestrated en masse. And that’s what Project Porchlight is endeavoring to do.
Care to help? Project Porchlight is recruiting volunteers to deliver ‘power savings’ to mailboxes Canada-wide. Volunteer orientations are happening right now, so if you’d like to take a walk and fight climate change at the same time, join the movement! I just did.
