HelpLight NJ Has a Bright Idea for Helping People Save Energy. Let their Shining Example Inspire you, too!

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program(TM) recognize HelpLight NJ – winner of the 2009 Clean Energy Outreach Partner of the Year.

HelpLight NJ is a charitable organization created by three high school students with a primary goal of raising funds to help the area’s low income families save money through the use of energy efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. After partnering with New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program, HelpLight NJ was able to deliver over 140,000 CFL bulbs, which will save over $9 million in energy costs as well as avoiding the release of 166 million pounds of CO2. Through its successful outreach program, HelpLight NJ has also recruited 19 partner schools to help in their worthwhile cause.
