Want to get green? Grab this kit

It seems now, more than ever, people are beginning to go green. But what does that mean exactly?

While we all know it is important to help the environment, we are not always sure how to do so.

With this in mind, Eco Hatchery has designed the Eco Starter Kit — an easy and effective way to conserve water and energy while saving money.

A variety of products are available in the kit that allow a typical U.S. household to save $260 on utility bills and reduce carbon usage by

2.5 tons in the first year alone, according to the kit's creators. (Interested in your carbon footprint per year? Visit the carbon calculator on www.ecohatchery.com).

Included in the kit are water quality and conservation tools, home insulation products, a reusable shopping bag and water bottle, eco-friendly product samples, an online eco roadmap, a natural soy candle and more.

The kit also comes with an illustrated instruction book that describes the economic and environmental benefits of each product.

The Eco Starter Kit is $97.50 at www.ecohatchery.com.
