Whole Foods Challenges You to Make a Green Change

As part of their effort to educate Americans on how saving money can also save the planet, Whole Foods Market has teamed up with Bosch Home Appliances, a 2009 Energy Star Partner of the Year, for a 30-day call-to-action campaign to reinforce the idea that environmental responsibility can go hand in hand with economic recovery.

“Make a Green Change” is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's national Energy Star “Make a Cool Change” effort. During the month of April, Whole Foods stores will be Earth Month Action Centers. People who visit the stores will be encouraged to take home a free Make a Green Change: 30 Ways in 30 Days calendar, which was created to encourage one lifestyle change per day during Earth Month that can save money and better protect the environment for the whole year and beyond.

The calendar invites customers to visit Whole Foods’ Web site for more eco tips. It also features an Energy Star savings calculator to show how much their fridge costs to run compared with an Energy Star model. You can also enter to win a variety of earth-friendly prizes, including a brand new Bosch Evolution ENERGY STAR^® qualified refrigerator stocked with goodies from Whole Foods.You can also test your green knowledge to find out just how eco-savvy you really are, and learn some new tips for improving your own conservation habits.
