 What are four interns in straw hats doing? The goal of Campaign Sustain is to get people thinking about the ways in which their personal lives impact the environment.
From showering to shopping, the activities of our daily lives affect the world that we live in—and of course, our pocketbooks. This summer, four friendly Alliance for Sustainability interns will be knocking on doors in all of the communities around the Chequamegon Bay region of Northwest Wisconsin. You can expect them at your door handing out energy-saving information and goodies, from free BART bus passes to Compact Fluorescent light bulbs.
For households interested in changing out more of their light bulbs, this year’s campaign is undertaking a new effort to identify “Neighborhood Leaders” to lead in making “the switch.” These volunteers will count the total number of light bulbs in their homes, and then pledge to replace thirty, sixty, or ninety percent of their old incandescent bulbs with new CFLs. The Alliance for Sustainability will follow up with these residents to track how much energy and money they have saved by making the light bulb switch.
