We L♥ve Green Allowance

At Green Allowance, kids connect the dots between saving energy at home and saving the planet. And they get paid for doing it!

Green Allowance is a free Website that lets families do their part to help the environment. Here, children are encouraged to make a deal with their parents:

Kids agree to take on energy saving tasks around the house - things like changing light bulbs, unplugging energy-draining appliances, and turning off lights.

Parents agree to share some of the savings on their electric bill with their kids as an allowance - a Green Allowance - and everybody wins.

Everyone wins!

Parents save money on their utility bill, kids stay with it for the money, and partnering utilities offer their customers an effective and family-friendly conservation program.

I can help save the planet by saving electricity, and then I get a Green Allowance. This rocks!

You can win by saving the Planet, by saving electricity, and by saving your parents money. And you win more allowance!

They're learning about conservation practices, responsibility, collaboration - and when it comes to calculating that allowance - even a little math.
