DREAM team composed of electrician Scott Haymes, sales representative Rachel Walsh and apprentice Marcus Blundell have been knocking on doors of every business and local's house in order to change their light bulbs for free as part of their duty at Glower.
Glower is an accredited provider under the Victorian Energy Upgrades Scheme, a sustainable initiative delivered by the Victorian Government, registered to offer residential and commercial lighting upgrades, completely free.
"We have been in Euroa for almost a month and it's by far our favorite town we've worked in for the past 12 months," Ms Walsh said.
"We love being on the road and getting to meet communities such as the one we've met in Euroa, we have made a lot of friends in town, it's been really good, Euroa is awesome.
"It's also important for us to help locals save energy, and to help older residents in need of light changing who can't go up a ladder anymore.

"For us, it's about making a difference for the environment and for community members, really."
More than 224,000 tonnes of carbon were saved by switching to led lights and opting for energy efficient products.
Large energy retailers such as AGL and Origin are required to reduce their carbon footprint by acquiring Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) to meet the annual target set under Victorian legislation.
Accredited Persons (AP's) such as Glower, create these VEECS by replacing inefficient lighting to energy–efficient LED in residential and non–residential premises and sell directly to the energy retailers for surrender.
