Today (Saturday, Aug. 15) is Project Porchlight Day in Bloomfield! Volunteers will be meeting at 10:00 a.m. at Watchung Presbyterian Church (375 Watchung Ave.) to receive instructions, t-shirts, maps, and light bulbs. They’ll then fan out to neighborhoods in Bloomfield to do two things: (1) give each household one free energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulb, and (2) ask residents to sign a simple pledge to change a light to a more energy efficient one.
YOU can help us get Bloomfield residents to change a light, save energy, and reduce our town’s carbon footprint during our Project Porchlight campaign on Saturday, August 15.
