Green
Light New Orleans is an environmental organization addressing
global warming and rising energy costs
in the New Orleans Area.
Born and raised in Switzerland, musician Andi
Hoffmann moved to New Orleans in 1993. He founded the organization in 2006 as a response
to the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina. "I had to do
something to help New Orleans get back on its feet again",
he said, "And I knew it had to be beneficial to the city of
New Orleans as well as to our planet". "We calculated the
pollution we created by touring to Europe and figured out how many
CFLs had to be installed to offset the pollution." With each
concert ticket sold at shows in europe people were asked to donate
to Green Light New Orleans. The audience immediately suppported
the idea and the fundraiser was a big success .
With the support of private donations, sponsors and
supporters Green Light New Orleans is rapidly growing to meet
the rising demand created by New Orleanians' desire to save energy and help the planet.
