FEELING BLUE ABOUT THE ECONOMY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON? THINK GREEN!
GREENHOME.COM ANNOUNCES TOP 10 ECO PRODUCTS THAT SAVE MONEY.

December 10, 2008 - San Francisco, CA: With the Holiday gift-giving season fast approaching and consumers' budgets tighter than ever, there is one thing everyone agrees on: it's all about saving money.

"Consumers are realizing that one of the best ways to save green is to shop green," says Lawrence Comras, CEO of Greenhome.com, a leading online green retailer. "Many of our Christmas gifts this year are actually engineered to save energy, be more efficient, last longer and put money back in your wallet."

Green Home today released a Top Ten List of the best energy saving gift ideas. The company's methodology assumes an average annual energy cost per US household of $2000, an average price of electricity of 10 cents per kilo-watt hour and incorporates manufacturers' data on typical use of each product.

"After calculating the energy savings of our green products, we were surprised to find how many pay for themselves within a year. With everything on our Top Ten List you're basically getting something for free," explains Comras.

Here is Greenhome.com's Top Ten List of Money Saving Environmental Products for Christmas '08, along with estimated yearly savings (in parenthesis):

1. The Kill-A-Watt $59.50 - See how much money your appliances are wasting ($240/yr.)
