Save $150 on an EcoSmart washer; build “green” kids

Just in time for Earth Day, here are two ways you can “clean up your act” around home.

First, PGE has teamed up with Fisher & Paykel and select local retailers to bring you a special offer on the Fisher & Paykel EcoSmartTM high-efficiency clothes washer. Save up to $150!

Next, encourage your kids to take action to help the earth with the Act Green Web site.

Wash green, earn green
Saving energy is one of the best ways you can help the earth. So, in celebration of Earth Day, here’s a great offer on an energy efficient washer: For a limited time only, PGE customers can get two instant rebates on a Fisher & Paykel EcoSmart washer — plus a cash-back incentive from Energy Trust of Oregon. All together, it adds up to $150 savings on the most energy-efficient top-load agitator washer you can buy. For details and a list of participating retailers, visit our washer offer page.

Build green kids
You’re never too young to help the earth. That’s the idea behind the Scholastic Act Green Web site. Aimed at elementary and middle school students, the site encourages kids to join the Green Team, create a green action plan and rack up green points for taking earth-friendly steps. The site lists actions they can take at home and at school. The parents’ page gives a tour of the site and explains how it works.
