Walked door-to-door, up steps and onto porches, knocking on doors. “Hi, I am volunteering for Groundwork Denver…”. Though Monday was President’s day, hardly anyone was home to listen to our speech. Knock, knock, knock. Count to thirty slooooowly. If the door opens, a) introduce yourself, b) ask if they would be interested in us swooping out their traditional front porch light bulb for an energy efficient, compact florescent bulb, c) ask if they would like information to help them reduce their junk mail, d) ask if they would like to sign up for a curbside tree, e) make sure to ask them to take a survey regarding their transportation habits. If the door doesn’t open, move to the next house. Canvassed 2 streets, got 6 surveys filled out, 4 light bulbs changes, and 2 junk mail packets accepted. In the longer drives, we have discovered food podcasts. Don’t ask, just look for and listen. Though, subsequently, I have discovered a passion for vanilla malts, born from listening to two food bloggers mix and drink them on air.
