Lights On Campaign

Tuesday, August 5th is National Night Out and Greenwood Residents are encouraged to take part in the Lights On Campaign.

Neighborhood Wacth is hoping all neighbors will leave their lights on overnight on Tuesday, August 5th. Please talk to your neighbors and encourage them to leave their lights on. If everyone participates and sees the difference lights will make, the will be encouraged to leave lights on overnight all the time.

If you are concerned about the environment, you can use compact fluorescent light bulbs. They offer great peace of mind when used in exterior lighting, such as porch lights, because they can be depended on for years without worrying about premature burnouts. A compact fluorescent can last six times longer than an incandescent bulb. It also saves money over its lifetime because it draws only one-fourth the electricity of an incandescent.

This is a simple step everyone can do to help Greenwood become a safer place to live.
