2007 Ontario Campaign Evaluation
Posted by Suzy | July 23, 2008

About the Ontario Evaluation Study

Since 2004, Project Porchlight has been doing what no energy conservation campaign has done before: reaching Canadians at the grassroots level. Delivered through a comprehensive social marketing campaign, Project Porchlight makes energy conservation accessible, relevant, and personal by giving regular people the power to take action in their own communities. Action that matters.

Recognize your (green) champions!
Posted by Socorro | December 18, 2007

Have you heard about the Canadian Geographic Environmental Awards? Nominations for this green-inspired award have past, but there must be community-based awards and recognitions that take place all over this fine province of ours.

Power. Pride. Success.
Posted by Socorro | November 24, 2007

Power. Pride. Success.

That's the Jr. Sabres Hockey Team's motto, but I am adopting it for the Porchlight campaign in Fort Frances.

We're wrapping up Project Porchlight in northwestern Ontario, but not without making sure we high five all the folks who made it ... well, downright fun and easy ... in this neck of the woods.

Green the season this weekend!
Posted by Dan | November 15, 2007

Most of us have seen seasonal LED strings in the past couple of years, either on store shelves or hanging from neighbour's houses and trees. They're the brighter, better holiday lights that not only look more colorful and vivid, but also use about 95% less electricity than your old incandescent-style light strings.

Fort Frances bound!
Posted by Socorro | November 15, 2007

Porchlight is coming back to Fort Frances, this time in the form of Christmas lights!

This Saturday, November 17, bring your old string of Christmas lights to the Canadian Tire between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and receive a voucher for a free string of energy-saving LED Christmas lights -- redeemable that day!

This is a one day only event. Hope to see you there!

It's a small (hockey) world
Posted by Socorro | October 29, 2007

If anyone ever tries to tell you that there is anything more important than hockey in small-town-northern-Ontario, they may not know much about northern Ontario. (Okay, maybe they do know some stuff. Like maybe they're hunters or ice fishermen or something.)

Seeing beyond sticker price
Posted by Dan | October 24, 2007

Edison's dimming bulbs. An interesting piece from Slate on consumers and the gradual move from incandescent to CFL technology, and the role governments and retailers are playing in this migration.
