EcoBonus: Penny wise. Planet brilliant.™

EcoBonus is the first industry-wide initiative to encourage mainstream consumers to choose natural, organic, fair trade and sustainable products. It provides a searchable database of 75,000 qualifying products and offers coupons and samples tailored to individual preferences, and rewards sustainable purchases with points. Participation is open to individuals, businesses and groups – and pooling of points by schools and faith-based organizations toward bigger rewards such as organic vending machines or solar panels is encouraged.

The EcoBonus program launches nationally by invitation on Earth Day 2011. Interested manufacturers should call 1-612-276­2725 or visit www.ecobonus.com/coalition. Consumers are invited to follow EcoBonus on Twitter @ecobonus and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ecobonus.
