Join the ENERGY STAR Change a Light,
Change the World Campaign
Show your company's commitment to protecting the environment
through energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR Change a Light, Change the World Campaign is a national call-to-action to
encourage every individual to help change the world, one light — one energy-saving step — at a time,
October 3, 2007 is National ENERGY STAR Change a Light Day and serves to rally Americans around
this call-to-action and launch activities nationwide. Organizations across the country help mark this day
with events, local leader proclamations, and store promotions around energy-efficient lighting - and do
educational outreach throughout the year.
At the campaign's heart is the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge found at
www.enerqvstar.aov/chanaealight. The online pledge is a simple step anyone can take to join a
growing community committed to save energy and help fight global climate change. Americans in
every U.S. state and territory have already pledged to replace more than 1 million lights collectively
with ones that have earned the government's ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency!
Join the Campaign and Leverage Your ENERGY STAR Partnership
Company energy and community relations programs are invited again
this year to play a leadership role in the campaign by setting a pledge
goal and becoming an ENERGY STAR Change a Light pledge driver;

target new audiences, In return, company pledge drivers receive
unique online tracking tools which enable them to gain 'credit' for each
pledge taken in their name, and a way to track progress against their
goal on the ENERGY STAR web site. Each company pledge driver can
watch their energy and environmental savings add up and then promote
this success back to their employees, customers, and community.
Companies who sign up as pledge drivers also receive customizable
materials and tools to engage their community and then demonstrate
the difference they're making to preserve our nation's energy resources
