FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
August 21, 2007
A San Francisco area based online retailer has announced a "Fight Global Warming Promotion" by lowering the price of the Watt-Minder, Appliance Cost and Current Meter by 40% in an effort to increase consumers awareness of their energy usage and help reduce their own carbon emissions.
Martinez, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2007 — Sierra Energy Products, a boutique on-line retailer of the Watt-Minder, Appliance Cost and Current Meter announced today its "Fight Global Warming" promotion.
In an effort to assist the energy consumer reduce its consumption of electricity and in turn reduce the amount of their carbon footprint, Sierra has reduced the retail price of the Watt-Minder by 40% for a limited time. Usually offered at $39.95, Sierra has lowered the price to $23.97 plus offering Free Alkaline batteries with purchase. Purchase of the Watt-Minder at the reduced price can be made at http://www.sierraenergyproducts.com/store.html
"The Watt-Minder is a low cost easy to use meter that lets you see not only how much energy an appliance uses, bit also much it is costing you to operate that product every hour, month or year," says Greg Endom, co-inventor of the Watt-Minder. Endom has calculated as an example that by replacing an old, energy wasteful refrigerator, one can save $138 in annual energy expenses and reduce their carbon emissions into the atmosphere by 1,100 pounds.
The Watt-Minder is the only cost meter that carries the U.S. Department of Energy, EPA Energy Star seal and is included in both the National Park Service toolkit for maintaining a selected group of the National Parks as well as the Tool Lending Library of the Pacific Energy Center in San Francisco, which is operated by one of the nation's largest utility companies, P.G. & E.
Ken Sheinkopt, noted writer and communications specialist with the American Solar Energy Society recently noted in his August 19, 2007 column, that one of his readers calculated that 25% of his overall energy usage came from standby and other ancillary devices in his home whose usage totaled 2,277 kilowatt hours per year. That's a waste $227 per year by not unplugging a few things around the house.
The Watt-Minder helps educate today's energy consumers, to manage that electrical energy use and in turn promote a reduction in carbon emissions and energy savings. All good things for reducing Global Warming and preserving the planet.
