POPULATION

The Green Dot Environmental (GDE) pledge is to minimize the impact we are having on our environment by addressing the 2 most pressing environmental issues: carbon emissions created by the burning of fossil fuels, and the absence of comprehensive energy conservation. GDE also works locally and has created the Annual 5K for Earthday, a family friendly 5K run/walk which culminates at the Humbolt Park boat house with an open air Green Living Expo. This event is designed to promote simple and proactive measures that increase awareness resulting in sizable energy conservation.

AUTOMOBILE

As there is no quick and easy solution to the output of carbon emissions derived from fuel powered automobiles, GDE's answer to this challenge is The PSI Project™.  A simple solution to reducing the impact that your automobile has on the environment is to inflate your tires to the proper pound per square inch (PSI), per manufacturers instructions.  This easy solution will lessen fuel consumption, thus reducing your fuel cost by an average of $450.00 annually.

RESIDENTIAL / COMMERCIAL

Many residential and commercial spaces are likely to have many energy deficiencies such as air-infiltration, which largely attribute to unneeded energy expenses. With a rigorous energy inspection we design your Energy Conservation Options (ECO), a comprehensive outline which corrects any and all defects within a defined space. GDE will focus on cost-effective weatherization through retrofitting which will lead to a reduction in energy spending. On average these corrections will lead to a reduction of heating and cooling costs by at least 25%, typically resulting in savings of $1,000.00 annually in most homes and businesses. In addition, carbon dioxide emissions and the demand placed on national electric and gas systems are reduced.
