Giveaway: Get Your Jumpstart to Green
One of the most frequent comments I get on this site goes something like this:
“I need help with all of this green stuff. Give me a list of ways to go green and the products I need to do it.”
or something along those lines. My usual response to these types of comments is to offer ideas for saving energy and water and reducing waste around the home, along with a mishmash of product suggestions that might be able to help. But I’m happy to report that from now on, my reply to these comments will be a bit more streamlined: Jump Start To Green.
I know a lot of companies are coming out with green “kits” right now to help you go green. And a lot of them are great. But I can honestly say that the Jump Start to Green Kit is the very best one that I have seen to help folks go from zero to green fast! And the thing I like about it the most is that absolutely every single item in the kit is usable, practical, and meaningful in terms of helping you go green. Even if you don’t need the kit, you should definitely check out their site (http://www.jumpstarttogreen.com) for handy-dandy facts like these:
- Installing CFLs can save you up to $12 per year in electricity costs per bulb
- Installing a toilet tank bank can save you up to $29 per year on your water bill
- Cutting showers from 8 minutes to 5 minutes, can save you up to $65 per year on your water bill and $236 per year on your electricity bill.
And guess what? I get to help one of my readers get a jump start of their very own. I’m giving away Jump Start to Green’s Essential Kit, which includes 10 eco-awesome items and is valued at $59.
Here is what’s in the kit:
- 4 CFL lightbulbs
- 1 insulated grocery tote
- 1 Kleen Kanteen water bottle
- 1 toilet bank water saver
- 1 shower timer
- 3 eco-sponges
- 1 junk mail reducer set (the forms and stamped envelopes you can submit to get your names off mailing lists.
- Eco-savvy info and guides (including a car sticker, green tracker, green guide, and around the house reminders)

What an excellent way to help the rest of us go green!
What a fantastic gift! I would love to share it with someone to educate them about being Green! Love your giveaways.
Thanks for your great tips, what a great kit!
Cool stuff. Would be great additions to my recycled home project!
I would LOVE to win this!!! Thank you!
These are great suggestions and what a wonderful gift!
WOW!! Super cool giveaway that not only could I benefit from, but my mom could use this as well. Maybe, I will give it to her as an early Christmas present, well that is if I win:)
Around my house over the past year, I have become the “reduce, reuse, recycle police”…my husband and kids have really gone along with things and we have made a major effort to get green and more self-sustaining in general. I would be thrilled to get this kit so we can become an even greener home!
Thanks for all your great give-aways!
Looks like the perfect kit to get me started!
This would be so wonderful to win! I loved reading through the Impact and Savings section of the website!
I forget how simple a lot of tips are that combine being green with saving money. I think we’ll try to implement the shower idea, although, of course, getting the kit would be great.
This would be wonderful!!!!

What a fantastic giveaway! did not know that cutting your shower time down to five minutes could save so much money! I think I could handle that!
That sounds great, and my kids have heard from the time they were born “we don’t do (blank) because it hurts the earth.” So glad I found your blog!
I have been trying to decide what to do about reducing the water usage in my toliet. I found your blog through friends, and I love the tips and links! I am not a parent yet, but your tips are great for all. The kit sounds awesome!
I absolutely love your site. So many valuable ideas to help people go green, and so easy! Keep up the great work.
I would LOVE this gift- its so helpful to have a website like yours! thanks so much!
Why have I not found your site sooner? I’m a going green mom to six and would actually love to win this and give it to my parents and family to help get them greener. I try to make baskets (or reusable bags) filled with green items to help them go greener
Thanks for this giveaway!
That’s a great kit. I actually have a shower timer already, as in my area there’s a big push to get people to save water.
I think this is such a great gift pack and the perfect way to really get going with the green movement!
