Campus Progress Action Grantee and former Intern Tony Anderson, is now the host of a newly launched series on Mother Nature Network.

A graduate of Morehouse College, Anderson created the “Let’s Raise a Million” campaign which focuses on distributing environmentally friendly compact florescent light bulbs to low-income communities. Last February, during Campus Progress’s Southern Regional Conference, more than a hundred student volunteers traveled to a neighborhood in Atlanta to install over a thousand energy-efficient light bulbs. These bulbs resulted in the community saving an estimated $80,000 in energy bills, and also contributed to a decrease in the particulate emissions in the area.

The new show, “Green Jobs with Tony Anderson,” will explore the emerging field of green-collar jobs by focusing on the innovations and contributions coming from ordinary people and their everyday experiences.

Campus Progress congratulates Tony on his accomplishments and looks forward to seeing what he does next as he works towards, in his own words, “A cleaner, healthier, greener and more livable tomorrow.”
