Broward County challenges residents and employees
to “change the world” and drive smarter


Broward County is challenging its residents and employees to “change the world” and “drive smarter” as part of the National Association of Counties (NACo) national competitions Change the World, Start With ENERGY STAR Campaign and the Drive $marter Challenge.

BulbThe Change the World campaign, formerly the Change a Light campaign, is an energy efficiency campaign in which counties collect pledges from county employees and residents to not only change a light in their home to an energy efficient one, but to also take other actions to save energy. Energy-saving actions could include power managing computers, choosing ENERGY STAR appliances, or properly programming their home thermostats.

Drive Smarter LogoThe Drive $marter Challenge is a fuel-efficiency campaign launched by The Wal-Mart Foundation, NACo and 16 other public and private-sector partners to help U.S. consumers lower their fuel costs by applying simple fuel efficiency tips. The campaign offers effective money and gas-saving tips in English and Spanish, and extensive additional resources – all aimed at keeping
more money in drivers’ pockets and reducing the number of costly trips to the pump.
