Water conservation rebates available

April 27th, 2010

According to SoCal Water Smart, effective September 21, 2009 through May 31, 2010 there will be  region-wide rebates available for two types of water-efficient purchases for your home:

  • High-Efficiency Devices— high-efficiency clothes washers and high-efficiency toilets. Recently, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) allocated $35.2 million in federal funds for California to administer its own energy-efficient Cash for Appliances Program. This program which will last from April 22, 2010 through May 23, 2010 is intended to save energy and water by replacing inefficient appliances with more energy-efficient models.
  • Landscape—weather-based irrigation controllers, rotating nozzles (with matching pressure regulating device), and synthetic turf. Water conservation efforts will be rewarded if home owners decide to install artificial turf in their front and/or backyards. Please visit our product page to see our selection of affordable, high quality turf. Save water and get rewarded!

For more information on both types of rebates, please visit the following websites: www.cash4appliances.org and www.socalwatersmart.com.

Let’s Celebrate Earth Day Together!

April 22nd, 2010

Earth Day is April 22nd 2010!

According to Earthday.org, forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future. Earth Day 2010 can be a turning point to advance climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs.

Earth Day taps into real daily issues such as climate change, energy, sustainable environment and also water. Below is a list of campaigns & events that Earth Day is organizing to help tackle the Water issue:

  • A Walk for Life: Objective is to raise $50,000 to complete water facilities for 25,000 people and animals for the next 50-100 years
  • Cane Creek Cleanup: Objective is to clean up the Catawba River and Cane Creek starting at the Hwy 9 Landing boat ramp near Lancaster, SC and extending into Cane Creek
  • Clean Water for Everyone: Objective is to provide citizens around the world with clean water and encourage countries to establish rules and regulations for water distribution

We are proud to be contributing to Earth Day’s initiatives by providing affordable water saving solutions to home owners. Please visit our product page to see our variety of maintenance free turf and remember that you can be saving up to 50,000 gallons of water a year if you install artificial turf in your lawn!
