Buy GREEN with your REBATE from the Government

As you are probably aware, the US Congress is hoping to pass an emergency rebate that many of us will receive in the next few months. They are doing this to stimulate the economy. I have been listening to the pundits talk about what they “hope” people do with this extra cash. Spending it is key. They want us to spend. So, I have ideas as to what to spend it on. BUY GREEN. Buy Local, Buy organic if possible. Here are some ideas:

1. Buy into one of our local organic farmers for the growing season.

2. Buy those compact fluorescent bulbs you haven’t bought yet

3. Buy organic & bamboo clothes at the Lotus Boutique 637 Chapala Street (on the corner of Cota St.)

4. Call Eco-Errands for non-toxic house cleaning or organic grocery delivery.

5. Go to Livingreen and buy no-VOC paint and spruce up a room with color.

6. Use Move Green for your next move, they only use bio-diesel in their trucks. “Re-think the way you move.” 805-845-6600 or 1-866-MV-GREEN

7. Invest in a drought tolerant landscape and save money and water! Daniel at Wilson Environmental Landscape Design can help you create a beautiful low maintenance yard!

8. If you get enough back to be in the market to buy a house, I’d be happy to help you find your next Green Home!

This is a tiny example to get you thinking about using your rebate in a way to help the economy and to also support those companies that will help keep our world GREEN.
