How Green Allowance Works

How Green Allowance Works - Step 1

Make a deal with your parents to sponsor you.
Say something like: "If I took on energy projects at home and saved you money on your electric bill, would you be willing to share some of the money you save with me -- say half or more? Or agree to some kind of reward?"

How Green Allowance Works - Step 2

Do energy saving actions found in the four gardens.

Find actions that suit your household. Click on them, and how-to instructions appear along with estimated or actual savings in dollars and trees. For example: change just one incandescent bulb to a compact fluorescent and save $5 and 0.2 trees per year.

How Green Allowance Works - Step 3

Get more allowance when parents save money.

When you click "I did it!" on one of our garden pages, watch as -

a tree gets
healthier

a piggy bank
appears under it

money falls
into the bank

your score goes
up, indicating your
total $$$ and trees
saved to date.
