There’s still time to send holiday season gifts that come with an extra message. Shop at the Energy Co-op of Vermont’s on-line store or at NativeEnergy and your gifts will help save energy and fight climate change.
The Energy Co-op’s on-line store is full of dozens of energy and resource saving products, including several books and a couple of games. Now, we know that most folks don’t think about giving LED lights for gifts, but why not? They are the latest and greatest in the lighting world, are highly energy efficient and are now available as holiday light sets Or what about an emergency radio? Or an energy monitor – as seen on “This Old House?”
Check out our store, not just for the holidays, but at any time of the year. And remember, members of the Energy Co-op of Vermont get a 20% discount on everything purchased at our store, year-round!
Go to NativeEnergy for some novel cards and gifts. NativeEnergy is a Vermont company that provides carbon offsets and renewable energy credits. By working with NativeEnergy, individuals and businesses help finance the construction of new wind, solar and biogas projects. So far, NativeEnergy has provided funding for more than 50 community-based projects, bringing renewable energy to schools, methane digesters to family farms, and helping build the first large scale Native American-owned wind turbine in the U.S.
NativeEnergy also offers several attractive and novel holiday cards – which come with a terrific benefit – carbon offsets. Each card offsets the emissions from the holiday travel of an average family or from one month’s household energy use. That’s 300 or 1,000 pounds of carbon emission offsets for each card you purchase.
Everyone at the Energy Co-op sends best wishes for a happy and safe holiday season to all of our members, customers and friends.
