One Change is a non-profit organization that empowers people to take simple actions to help the environment. It began in 2005 with a light bulb distribution campaign called Project Porchlight. In 2008, Project Porchlight expanded to several new regions, distributing over 2 million energy-efficient light bulbs across North America. One Change was also named a partner of the United Nations Environment Programme. Looking ahead, One Change has plans to launch more campaigns and expand Project Porchlight into additional areas in 2009.

2. Message froM the President
Since becoming a director of Project Porchlight several years ago, my ears are always tuned into environmental news.
Almost daily, we hear of new green initiatives and the need to conserve our resources and energy. Realizing we need
champions to solve these issues, I’m very pleased to serve as President of an organization with such great potential to
change the way people engage each other in positive actions that make a difference every day.
One Change has attracted a diverse and talented Board of Directors with a wide range of skills and expertise. All Directors
share a strong commitment to protecting the environment, and each member has a passion for direct community
engagement as the catalyst for broad public participation in energy conservation and environmental action.
The Board is also complemented by a growing team of informal advisors.
Bright lights from politics, business, science and NGOs who believe in what
we are doing and want to lend a hand.
I also want to acknowledge my predecessor, founding President Elizabeth
Harvey who delivered the first CFL bulb with Stuart Hickox back in 2004.
A sincere thank you is extended to Elizabeth who has been instrumental in
helping to build a firm foundation on which to grow.
I never thought I would be leading such a dynamic group of individuals
who are working hard to get people to change light bulbs. But that’s just
it—we’re not just changing bulbs! One Change has discovered the way to
use light bulbs and other simple actions to engage people and transform
behaviours. We use light bulbs to change people. People change the world
for the better every day.
It is truly a privilege to be involved with Project Porchlight and One Change.

4. Big Changes in 2008
One Change named United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP) partner
• UNEP’s first North
American not-for-profit
grassroots partner
In September 2008, UNEP—
the voice for the environment in the United
Nations system—announced that One Change
would become its first North American not-
for-profit grassroots partner. Being chosen
as a UNEP partner is not only a huge vote of
confidence for the One Change model, but it
makes it possible to speed up the process of
reaching millions of people with the ‘simple
actions matter’ message. As One Change
launches future campaigns, UNEP will be a
valuable partner in reaching international
audiences. By combining UNEP’s resources,
networks, and international credibility with
One Change’s proven approach to mobilizing
individual action, both initiatives will be
able to engage more people and inspire more Regional Director of United Nations Environment Programme Regional Office for

One Change’s reach into the United States began in 2007 when Stuart visited Washington, DC to give a talk on Project
Porchlight. One of the attendees was Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC) representative Chris Granda.
Impressed by One Change’s emphasis on empowering individuals to take action and make smart choices to protect the
environment, Chris approached Stuart and opened the door to a great partnership. VEIC, a leading international energy and
environmental consulting firm, has been instrumental in introducing One Change to Vermont and New Jersey residents.

8. Future Initiatives for One Change
Project Porchlight new Jersey Phase 2 (May–December 2009)
• Project Porchlight to deliver 1 million more CFL bulbs across New Jersey
catalyst awards (April 2009)
• One Change will host inaugural awards celebrating environmental action
Puget sound energy and Project Porchlight in Washington (Summer 2009)
• Project Porchlight to join “Rock the Bulb” campaign
• 275,000 free CFL bulbs to be delivered throughout Washington
one change: fueL Fuel Efficiency Pilot Campaign in Ottawa (Summer 2009)
• One Change will roll out pilot fuel efficiency campaign
• 13K free tire gauges to be delivered across Ottawa
one change foundation (Fall 2009)
• One Change aims to secure charitable status, in both Canada and the United States.
Project Porchlight sustains environmental consensus through face-to-face interaction, and stops the kind of
decline in positive attitudes toward environmental action that coincided with the economic downturns of the
early 1970s and late 1980s. This is a critical issue as the economy is once again in decline.
