Spread the Green with Eco Kits this Holiday Season

July 20, 2009 - PRLog -- Milwaukee, WI – Eco Kits from Eco Hatchery make it easy for friends, family and colleagues to join forces to save money and the earth in the New Year.

The smartly packaged Eco Kits can be sent directly as gifts, along with a personal invitation to join your own online “Eco Community,” which can be created for family members, a school, religious group, or a company.  

As kit activities are completed, members of the community can see how their actions improve the group’s outcome. They also can compare their carbon footprint to the community average. Members can work together toward a common goal or start a friendly competition.

“Many of us consider ourselves to be eco-conscious but lack the time and tools to turn our thoughts into action. Our friends or family may need a gentle nudge as well to move toward a more sustainable lifestyle,” said Adam Borut, president of Eco Hatchery. “Online communities help you set goals, and Eco Kits help you get the job done.”

Eco Hatchery offers three types of kits, all available online: the Green & Healthy Home Kit ($50), Energy Efficiency Kit ($60), and The Eco Starter Kit ($97.50).  Bulk pricing and co-branding are available.

All kits include energy saving and conservation products, illustrated instructions, energy-saving tips, and an A-Z recycling resources guide. Some of the products included are an energy monitor, water quality test kit, stainless steel reusable water bottle, insulation tools, a premium eco light bulb, and energy efficiency boosters for the largest energy hog: the refrigerator.  In addition, each Eco Kit includes a unique activation code for online tools that enable the user to identify additional energy-and water-saving opportunities specific to their household.

In the first year alone, the Eco Hatchery’s flagship Starter Kit helps a typical U.S. household save $260 in utility bills, and 7,000 gallons of water, and shrinks its carbon footprint by 2.5 tons. The average household footprint is approximately 31 tons carbon dioxide emissions (CO2).

“It’s amazing what we can achieve when we join forces,” Borut said. “The kits are a great way to connect with others while helping them save money, energy and the environment. Even the simplest actions can lead to significant savings year after year.”
