Since 1995, Alexander Lee has been working to green up your laundry habits as the Founder and Executive Director of Project Laundry List. With a recent appearance on the Stephen Colbert Show and a previous feature in Time Magazine, the nonprofit's successful strategic plan and effective use of technology to promote their cause earned them Grassroots.org's June Member of the Month award!
Initially a student organization project at Middlebury College, Project Laundry List advocates for line drying and cold water washing cycles in an effort to reduce energy consumption. Though the nonprofit has never operated on a robust budget, they continue to land significant media coverage and secure key partnerships, proving that small or medium-sized nonprofits can make a large impact too. PLL's site design reflects their level of professionalism and transparency; scanning the homepage's stunning graphics and direct links, visitors instantly gain an understanding of the organization. Most importantly, their homepage piques enough interest by encouraging visitors to start by calculating their clothing care costs.
Most recently, the nonprofit started using the Toolbox's Language Translation tool and is working with volunteer designer, Stefania, to create a T-shirt design for upcoming online store initiatives. Summer's arrival leaves little excuse for not line drying your clothes--check out Project Laundry List's site to learn how you can start!
