We are a unique non-profit non-partisan grassroots organization that makes global environmental issues—like climate change—relevant and accessible to individuals.
We deliver innovative and award-winning community-based social marketing campaigns that distribute the tools and information required to convert environmental awareness into meaningful action. The tools we promote include energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs, fuel-saving digital tire gauges, and water-saving conservation kits, with creative new campaigns in development.
We do this through door-to-door deliveries, community events, retail partnerships, our educational web sites (onechange.org and projectporchlight.com), a number of web 2.0 portals, media outreach activities, hands-on engagement pieces, celebrity endorsements, and other creative tactics that reach the public and mobilize people and community groups for positive change.
We produce proven positive results, including:
- Helping people from all walks of life adopt behaviours that decrease their consumption of resources (energy, fuel, water), save money, and cut greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and other forms of waste;
- Providing individuals and community groups with opportunities to volunteer in a hands-on and impactful manner;
- Generating green jobs and opportunities for employees to develop new skill sets;
- Stimulating the economy where we operate; and,
- Uniting diverse groups and individuals under a common goal: to protect the environment.
We believe:
- Everyone can be a catalyst for change;
- Change is within reach;
