Mission
Green Light New Orleans is a New Orleans environmental organization.
We help New Orleans low and middle income families and individuals
make the switch from incandescent bulbs to energy efficient compact
fluorescent lights (CFL), one house at a time. Our strategy is to
actually go to the homes of New Orleans residents and install the
CFLs ourselves, so the bulbs are put to immediate use. The service
is free and our volunteers install the light bulbs.

Goal
The city of New Orleans faces a strong increase in energy cost and serious
consequences of global warming through stronger and more frequent hurricanes.

Our goal is to switch the entire city from incandescent light bulbs
to energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs, one house at a time.
Why is your help needed:
New Orleans was a poor city before Hurricane Katrina.
Since the Hurricane even more people have trouble paying for their
basic expenses, including energy usage.
Your support helps people get through this difficult
time AND gives you an opportunity to actively fight global warming.
