Volunteer Extraordinaire: Russell Lyons

This week Green Light was lucky enough to receive the help of one truly dedicated volunteer, Russell Lyons.  Russell graduated from high school and is currently taking a gap year before he begins college to travel the country to volunteer in over 20 communities, including New Orleans.  Russell volunteered with GLNO for four days helping schedule installations in the office as well as complete installations throughout the city.  Through his work with GLNO, Russell installed 277 light bulbs, saving 109,138 kwh, $12,742 in energy bills, 123,819 lbs of CO2.

In addition to working with GLNO, Russell’s helped organizations in communities across the country ranging from animal shelters to literacy projects to helping the homeless, starting in his hometown of San Diego.

Thanks Russell for helping our city and our country!  Your dedication to helping others is truly inspiring!  Keep up the great work, we can’t thank you enough!
