Green Beginnings for Graduates

April 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Going green isn’t a trend anymore. It is about maintaining life quality and building a sustainable future. Help your grad get a head start with an Eco Starter Kit to save energy, water and the environment.

The Do-It-Yourself Eco Starter Kit includes conservation products that help lower utility bills and reduce environmental impact. The accompanying illustrated instructions are educational and engaging, clearly outlining the financial, energy and environmental savings of each conservation activity.

Some of the products included in the toolkit are an appliance energy monitor, water quality test kit, reusable stainless steel water bottle, weather stripping, a premium energy efficient light bulb, home lighting audit, and a refrigerator coil brush.

Your grad will be able to track savings progress online as each activity is completed and create a personalized home energy roadmap that identifies additional savings opportunities. Eco Kits are valuable for rental properties and first homes.

“The kit comes with online tools will help your grad quantify their savings opportunities and prioritize according to payback periods.  This makes it easy to take action based on the timeframe they expect to be in their home and the resources available,” explained Adam Borut, president of Eco Hatchery.

Three types of Eco Kits are available, ranging from $50 to $100. Kits may be sent directly with a personal gift message to individual graduates. They also may be offered via sustainability committees and alumni associations for fund-raising. Order online at www.ecohatchery.com
