Welcome to Going Green in Saratoga: Living sustainably one day at a time!  My purpose with this blog is to share my efforts to live a more sustainable daily life - converting my yard to garden, biking more, buying local - while at the same time create a community forum to share ideas and resources on what others are doing to "relocalize" and lessen our impact on this earth. Please share your ideas and stories of inspiration on how you or someone you know is "going green".

Community CFL Challenge

Join the Saratoga Local Living Guide's Community CFL Challenge.

The Saratoga Community CFL Challenge is a 2-month campaign that provides incentive for residents to replace standard incandescent light bulbs with energy saving compact fluorescents (CFLs). The goal of the campaign is to save residents’ $36,000 on utility bills and keep 311,100 pounds of climate changing emissions from entering the atmosphere.

This is a great opportunity to purchase CFL lightbulbs at a reduced price from Allerdice, a locally owned hardware store, reduce your energy bills and get to know your neighbors.

The Community CFL Challenge is a grassroots effort that utilizes a network of volunteers to reach out to the neighbors on their block. Neighbors are given a coupon code to use to purchase bulbs through this website or at Allerdice Building Supply.

The first Block Leader meeting is today, Monday, May 3rd at 6pm at 110 Spring St.

Go to www.locallivingguide.com/cfl for more information on how to sign up or become a block leader, reduced pricing on CFL's bulbs, and learn more about the campaign.

  1. Great article Amy.

    However, all the links need to be checked as they have an extra "//http" in the URL.
