EcoMedia Helps Putnam Green Affordable Housing Project Save Money & Electricity with EcoAd Energy Efficiency Funding

CBS EcoMedia worked with our nonprofit partners, Enterprise Community Partners and Homeowners Rehab of Cambridge Massachusetts to make energy efficiency funding possible for the Putnam Green affordable housing project.  The financial support came from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103, through their EcoAd advertising.  In this EcoMedia project vignette video you'll learn how the EcoAd program works, hear from the key project participants and get an overview of the new Putnam Green development.  The EcoAd funding not only is reducing emissions, it's also cutting the energy bills at Putnam Green freeing up money to spend on the critical programs the green housing development offers its residents.  The energy efficiency work also created jobs and is helping to foster diversity in the community too.

This project is representative of of EcoMedia projects just like it all across the USA and is a great example of the public private partnership model EcoMedia is using to transform advertising into an engine for viable social change.
