Community Efforts
Community efforts are helping to make sweeping change and brighten lives . For example , the Environmental Protection Agency ’ s “ Change the World Tour ,” is a national program designed to motivate consumers to purchase ENERGY STAR-certified LED bulbs that bring energy-efficient lighting to communities in need .
Leading the charge are forwardthinking companies , such as ProVia , a manufacturer of home renovation products , including energy-efficient entry doors , replacement windows , vinyl siding and manufactured stone . They have partnered with Thompson Creek Window and Fairfax County Public Schools to teach students the importance of changing to ENERGY STAR-certified LED light bulbs .
ProVia is also donating LED light bulbs to Habitat for Humanity and encouraging their employees to get on board personally by making a commitment to purchase ENERGY STARcertified LED light bulbs .
With these kinds of efforts taking place nationwide , LED adoption in local communities is expected to continue to rise . To learn more about the campaign , visit provia . com / change .
