A Look at the Past:

Sustainability is Knocking at Your Door This Summer

Campaign Outcomes

The interns met their goal of knocking on 4000 doors in the Chequamegon Bay region.

They left literature at each home about increasing household sustainability and reducing home energy usage which included a free pass for the BART Bus and a rebate coupon for purchase of CFLs.

They spoke with 1800 people at their homes and replaced 1300 incandescent bulbs with energy-saving CFLs.

The replacement of these bulbs will reduce electricity consumption in the Chequamegon Bay by 96,000 Kilowatt hours each year. This reduced demand will eliminate the need to burn approximately 40 tons of coal and thus eliminate the emission of over 100 tons of carbon dioxide.

As a result of the effort, the Alliance for Sustainability has doubled the size of its mailing list and its email list has seen a 50% increase.

155 people donated to support the purchase of enough CFLs to offer them to every home in the Bay. The average donor gave $8.00, and nearly all of those donors were new to AFS.
