Energy Star
Hunter + Co Communications recently worked with
Energy Star on the Change a Light, Change the World Campaign, (sponsored
nationally by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that
encouraged residents and businesses of New York and New Jersey to
take a pledge to become more energy efficient and help protect the
environment.
|
This campaign encouraged New Yorkers and New
Jersey residents to switch the most frequently used lights in their
home to Energy Star qualified ones or compact fluorescent bulbs
(CFLs). This project involved the planning and execution of
several high profile events in New York and New Jersey including
a telethon style event and press conference held in New York City’s
Union Square where the EPA culminated its national Energy Star Change
a Light Bus tour as well as a targeted advertising and media relations
effort in New York and parts of New Jersey.
|
The overall campaign was a success and raised
heightened awareness and visibility for Energy Star qualified lighting
products.
Established in 1992, Energy Star is a joint program
between the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the
U.S. Department of Energy designed to help save money and protect
the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
