Giveaway! $50 CarbonFund.org Offset – 3 Winners
This giveaway is now closed
The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is in one week, and in honor of this day and to help promote eco-friendly awareness, we are working with CarbonFund.org and Coupon Craze to help you offset your carbon footprint. Three winners will each be awarded a $50 CarbonFund.org donation in their name.
CarbonFund.org
CarbonFund.org is leading the fight against global warming by helping people neutralize their carbon footprint. You can purchase an offset that represents a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) somewhere else, like a renewable energy or reforestation project, to balance out the emissions you cannot reduce. For example, $50 of CarbonFund.org credit is equivalent to 5 metric tons of CO2 or:
- More than 5 roundtrips from Los Angeles to New York
- Approximately the emissions an average American passenger vehicle emits in a year
- Over half the emissions from the average American home’s electricity use
- The amount of carbon sequestered by an acre of pine forests in a year
- The amount of carbon produced by 208 propane cylinders for home barbecues
Coupon Craze
To help promote green, organic and eco-friendly retailers and products, Coupon Craze has a green coupon category where shoppers can finds codes and deals from over 100 retailers such as TOMS Shoes, Origins, Patagonia and ZipCar. It’s the perfect starting place for people who are looking to pickup some eco-friendly shopping habits. Check out some tips that will help you go green on a budget:
- Shop on Earth Day, 4/22: April, and of course Earth Day itself, draws the most attention to eco-friendly, green and organic products. Retailers take advantage of this by offering huge savings throughout the month and specifically on April 22nd to generate awareness. Make sure to check out Coupon Craze’s Green and Eco-Friendly category on Earth Day – there are over 100 offers planned to go live exclusively on that day.
- There’s Less Fine Print: Green retailers are still relatively new to the coupon industry, so offers tend to have less fine print than coupons in other categories. For example, many of these coupons don’t have a minimum spending requirement, which means that shoppers can save regardless if they spend $20 or $500.
- What to do the rest of the year: There are some retailers such as TOMS and Gaiam that offer coupons year round, however, the savings in the Green Category tend to peak in the spring and the fall.
