Hello,
I personally feel that I will pay more for a product that better maintains/effects OUR environment than a less expensive one that burns fossil fuel all day long, but not everyone feels that way. Money still motivates - always has and always will to a certain degree.
So I found an insert in my last power bill (San Diego Gas & Electric) that suggested I can save money on my power bill by using/purchasing "green products". Here is the link:

Is there anyone in the area that is familiar with going about this? What I am looking for, if possible, are monetary benefits to using green products. If we can find products that are about the same cost, or less (even if it takes time to realize those savings), it will be much easier to promote green products and help protect OUR environment.
I welcome your comments,

ps. If you noticed my deliberate usage of "our environment" rather than "the environment" i hope you will continue this usage. Using "the" denotes the environment as something other, something foreign, and this needs to be changed. It is clear that we are connected to our environment, a part of it, and our language needs to reflect that. People have a natural tendency to help that which is connected to them and disregard that which is foreign, so let's do something simple by using language to correct the public viewing of OUR environment so that we can gain support in bettering things!

Excellent point in your "ps". I'm not sure if we have that option in our area (Texas) , but I'm going to look into it.
