> Dear Kathie Brosemer:
>
> Project Porchlight is coming to Sault Ste. Marie!
>
> This award-winning energy efficiency campaign works from the grassroots
> in communities across Canada, spreading the message that simple actions
> /can /make a big difference when it comes to helping the environment.
> We are currently in the middle of a campaign in Ontario where we are
> handing out 500,000 free energy efficient light bulbs.
>
> We’d be delighted if the Clean North Green Communities could give us a
> hand! We need volunteers to hand out free compact fluorescent light
> (CFL) bulbs to households in your community. Door-to-door delivery is
> fun and easy, and it’s not a big time commitment (1-2 hours). The whole
> family can get involved!
>
> We are also looking for volunteers to distribute light bulbs at events.
> If you are planning or attending a community meeting, party or other
> gathering, we’d love it if you could help us distribute bulbs there
> while spreading our message of energy conservation. We’d love to
> discuss this possibility with you as well as give you the tools
> necessary to succeed with this potential endeavor.
>
> CFL bulbs use 75% less electricity than old-fashioned incandescent
> bulbs. That means you save money on your electricity bill, less coal
> gets burnt, and pollution is reduced. Talk about a win-win-win situation!
>
> Each CFL bulb saves its users up to $50 on their electricity bill over
> its lifespan. Once all these energy-efficient bulbs are in use, Ontario
> residents will save $25 million over five years. It also means 250,000
> tonnes of carbon dioxide won’t be emitted from coal-fired plants because
> these bulbs use 75% less electricity!
>
> For more information or to get involved, you can contact Natalia Snajdr

> We hope to hear from you soon as our campaign ends Dec. 15^th ,
