Energy Star: Congratulations to Organizations Changing the World

Top Non-Profit One Change’s Project Porchlight campaign

EPA would like to thank all the pledge drivers who worked to make the 2009-2010 Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR campaign a success. By encouraging people across the country to take the ENERGY STAR Pledge, these pledge drivers helped millions of Americans incorporate energy efficiency into their everyday routines. To date, more than 2.5 million people and thousands of organizations have joined the movement to fight climate change by taking the ENERGY STAR Pledge and the carbon savings associated with pledge-takers’ collective commitments equal more than 7 billion pounds. Just as each pledge is an important step in the fight against climate change, so are the efforts of our campaign partners as they spread the word to their employees, customers, constituents, and communities nationwide.

In particular, EPA wants to recognize the organizations with the greatest achievements in raising awareness and driving action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Here are the top pledge drivers, overall and by sector, for 2009–2010.
