  My Grist-inspired Easy Steps

  I had occasion to meet and greet Grist and company when y'all traveled to DC back in June. It was a great crowd to mingle amongst at the Grist event in Adams Morgan, and it helped me spark my new social venture project shortly thereafter: the Earth Aid Kit. ( http://www.earthaidkit.com )

  The Earth Aid Kit is meant to serve as an easy way for folks to follow-up on precisely the sort of simple steps that Chip advocated.

  Our website allows you to browse home energy efficiency products - and estimates both your energy and emissions savings right as you shop. The site also rewards you for doing more to fight global warming - if you buy products from at least four different categories of energy efficiency, it automatically drops your prices.

  Grist readers in DC have been exceptionally helpful in developing this idea, and I'd be very grateful for your feedback on our site and on our project. You can visit our Kit-building site at www.earthaidkit.com or our company site at www.earthaidenterprises.com.

  Thanks!

  Ben

  P.S. replying to the comment above, all but one of our CFLs ship in cardboard boxes - be sure to call your favorite CFL source to ask them to switch from the plastic if they haven't already.
