Thanks to the fine reporting of Shirley Siluk Gregory and associates, the Earth Aid Kit began the week featured at the top of sustainablog - a leading blog of record on all things green and innovative. Under the headline Get a Kit, Cut Your Home’s Carbon Footprint, Gregory highlighted precisely the role the Earth Aid Kit is aiming to play in empowering individuals to do their part to fight global warming:

When it comes to cutting carbon emissions, a lot of things — global trade agreements, international climate treaties — are out of our individual control. One area where each of us can make a difference, though, is in our own homes. Houses and other buildings are responsible for nearly half of all greenhouse gas emissions, but they don’t have to be.

Not sure how to start? Earth Aid Enterprises, a new venture in Washington, D.C., is offering Earth Aid Kits to get you started. ( read the full post here! )

Other prominent blogs picked up the story, Crave - cnet’s hip gadget blog - called the Earth Aid Kit the “Gift for Mother Earth.” Elsa Wenzel wrote,

What do energy hogs deserve for the holidays? Earth Aid Kits are a not-so-subtle hint to those who leave the lights on when they leave the room and the faucet on while they brush their teeth. ( read the full post here! )

Both Gregory and Wenzel took note of Earth Aid Enterprises‘ energy savings and emissions reduction calculations - emphasizing that folks who build their own Earth Aid Kit finish off each year with more money in their pocket and a much cleaner conscience. If enough folks install Earth Aid Kits, we’ll all be breathing much cleaner air too.

Thanks to Gregory and Wenzel, several other blogs around the web have also discovered the Earth Aid Kit - including Apple Review and ecoyear. We’re always happy to hear that people are writing about us. Let us know if you see anything, and let us know if you’d like to write about us too!
