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.
