Mission: Green Light New Orleans is a New Orleans environmental organization. We help New Orleans low and middle income families and individuals make the switch from incandescent bulbs to energy efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFL), one house at a time. Our strategy is to actually go to the homes of New Orleans residents and install the CFLs ourselves, so the bulbs are put to immediate use. The service is free and our volunteers install the light bulbs.





This organization provides Temporary or Permanent Service? Temporary

Notes:

Green Light New Orleans is an environmental organization addressing global warming and rising energy costs in the New Orleans Area.
Born and raised in Switzerland, musician Andi Hoffmann moved to New Orleans in 1993. He founded the organization in 2006 as a response to the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina. "I had to do something to help New Orleans get back on its feet again", he said, "And I knew it had to be beneficial to the city of New Orleans as well as to our planet". "We calculated the pollution we created by touring to Europe and figured out how many CFLs had to be installed to offset the pollution." With each concert ticket sold at shows in europe people were asked to donate to Green Light New Orleans. The audience immediately suppported the idea and the fundraiser was a big success .

With the support of private donations, sponsors and supporters Green Light New Orleans is rapidly growing to meet the rising demand created by New Orleanians' desire to save energy and help the planet.
