The Manchester City Council team visited Harpurhey and Cheetham last week giving more than 100 low-energy light bulbs to residents who signed pledges saying they would use them to replace their old bulbs.
And the team will visit other parts of Manchester over the next few weeks as part of the City Council's 100 Days campaign.

The team will also be talking to members of the public as part of the City Council's ongoing consultation into the future of recycling services.
Along with the light bulbs, the team is giving out free electricity saving 'power-down' plugs and a water-saving device that can be placed into toilet cisterns, reducing the amount of water that is released with each flush.
Cllr Eddy Newman, Executive Member for Neighbourhood Services, said: "Energy efficient light bulbs are not only good for the environment, they reduce the cost of your electricity bills, so we're keen to encourage Manchester residents to use them."
