Come help. Take part in the community. Gain recognition for your business!

On July 22, 2009, CarbonfreeDC was chosen as one of five winners of Green Effect, National Geographic’s high-profile competition that grants $20,000 to implement green ideas in local communities. With our awarded $20,000, we hope to green 20 low income homes in DC and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

With only $1000 for each home, we are asking you to help up leverage our dollars and reach our goal of making 20 homes more energy efficient and eco-friendly.

There are 3 major ways you can help: 1) monetary donations, 2) in-kind donations of energy efficient and money saving products, and 3) your expertise and labor - if you’re an experienced eco-consultant, plumber, electrician, or a carpenter, come help us execute our plans and install energy efficient products!

Aside from earning good karma, being part of the DC community, and protecting our planet, you and your business will gain recognition for your donation of time, money, and products. This is a local and national demonstration project that will be tracked by Energy Star, featured in National Geographic Magazine, radio, video documentaries, and on many other media outlets. It has already been featured on numerous local blogs, promoted to national press and leading green organizations in the DC area, and will soon be featured on Sun Chip bags throughout the country!

CarbonfreeDC’s Extreme Green Neighborhood Makeover has already garnered amazing amounts of community support and media publicity. We are excited about this project and we look forward to adding to our team and working with you!
