Earth Aid will be offering a sneak peek into a pilot program we'll be launching later this summer: the first ever rewards program for saving energy and water! Using EarthAid.net, you'll be able to convert your energy savings into Earth Aid points that you can redeem for exclusive discounts and offers from local shops, restaurants, and other businesses - making saving energy newly, doubly rewarding for the community and the local economy. Want to hear all the details? Come join us on the Hill on Friday!
(If you want to put in a plug to have your city or area added to the pilot, comment on the blog or drop us a line! If your business wants to create an exclusive offer for folks who save energy on EarthAid.net, call us at 1-866-638-0885 x2 - it's free for our charter business partners!)
