Change a Light Bulb, Change the World is a collaboration between Voices for Earth Justice and the Adrian Dominican Sisters, Great Lakes Dominican Chapter.

 Goals for the project:

  • Give relief to families on their electric bills, so as to avoid electric shutoffs
  • Curb air pollution that causes asthma and global warming
  • Foster energy conservation habits

During the school year 2007-2008, 2,500 5th graders in 50 Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park schools receivied a free Energy Star, 27 watt, commercial-grade compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb to take home to their families. Adrian Dominican Sisters and other volunteers distributed the CFL light bulbs and educational packets.
