In line with your Climate Challenge goals, Eco Hatchery provides environementally conscious organizations with a free, ready-to-go fundraising initiative that is ideal for non-profit organizations/sustainability committees. You can offer students, neighbors, family and friends a chance to help prevent global warming while they contribute to your organization at the same time. The Eco Starter Kit helps a typical homeowner reduce their annual utility bill by about $260 and cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2.5 tons per year. The emissions reductions are equivalent to replacing a mid-size sedan with a Prius hybrid! For every Eco Starter Kit sold through your organization, Eco Hatchery will contribute $10 of the Kit's price back to your organization. You can also monitor your group's progress online, using the Carbon Calculator that aggregates your group's footprint and tracks energy savings. Flyer attached.

Film: Kilowatt Ours
This thing is inspiring. I had been hearing about Kilowatt Ours for years, especially from my climate friends in the Southeast, but had never watched it until recently. It puts the issue in very human and simple terms and spends a full half of the movie going through solutions each of us can take to make a real impact. It's worth the donation price, big time!
Along the way, Jeff and his wife Heather share a plan to eliminate their use of coal and nuclear power at home by employing energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
Through their learning experience, viewers discover how they can save hundreds of dollars annually on energy bills, and use a portion of the savings to purchase newnewable energy.
Kilowatt Ours invites viewers to help build a net zero nation, by conserving energy to the greatest extent possible at home, then using clean renewable energy to provide the electricity used.
There are two versions of the film available on the same DVD: a 38 minute version and a 64 minute version.
