The thing that sets them apart from other websites is they will reward you for living green! All you have to do is create an account and input your electric, gas, and water information (Provider Company and your account number). EarthAid keeps track of your energy saving progress and will award you points for every kilo-watt hour of electricity, 10 cubic feet of natural gas, and 20 gallons of water saved. These points can be redeemed for a variety of things, from organic food restaurants to holistic spa treatments and eco-friendly products.
You can also volunteer to be a part of their carbon market and sell your credits to individuals, small businesses and even fortune 500 companies. Plus, they also provide tips on how you can cut back on energy usage and you can compare your progress to your town, friends and family (provided they also use the site).
Earth Aid's free, patent-pending web application is the first and only that enables households to monitor their actual electric, gas, and water utility usage all together and in context online - all to help you see the big picture.
Earth Aid automatically highlights the local, state, and federal rebates, tax incentives, and discounts that make it even more economical for you to save.
Making your home more energy efficient not only lowers your utility bills but also reduces your energy consumption. Cutting back on your energy use decreases greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to global warming. It's a win-win for you and the planet!
