This just in from Jaclyn over at the Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS):
Hello ECOS Supporters!
ECOS is participating in Greenraising (Earth Friendly Fundraising). I know that many of us already make purchases on the internet. Why not allow those purchases to support your local environmental organization, ECOS? Please consider going to http://www.greenraising.com/?AFID=488 next time you would like to purchase reusable bags, biodegradable cleaning products, recycled gift wrap, fair trade gifts, organic tea & coffee, reusable stainless steel beverage bottles, unique lunch bags, bath sets, etc. Greenraising will give 25%, yes you heard that right...25% of the price of each purchase to ECOS!!! This is a great way for you to support ECOS while you do your online shopping.
If you have any questions at all please email me or give me a call (916) 444-0022. ECOS, like most nonprofit organizations, must work hard to keep afloat financially. Your participation in this greenraiser is GREATLY appreciated!
Hope to see you all around soon & happy shopping!
Jaclyn

Sacramento ranks 12th best in nation by Brookings Institution
In its recently released analysis, "Shrinking the Carbon Footprint of Metropolitan America", the Brookings Institution found that the Sacramento metro area decreased its per capita carbon footprint from residential and transportation uses by about 9% between 2000 and 2005, compared with a 1.1% increase across the 100 largest U.S. metro areas and 2.2% across the nation as a whole.
Newer housing options and increased demand for energy efficient or "green" features in homes (reflected in new urban developments such as 9 on F and the SoCap Lofts in Downtown Sacramento) have helped push Sacramento toward the top of the list.
The Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization.
Looking to reduce your carbon footprint? Some quick and easy ways to do that include using alternative transportation (bus, light rail, and bicycle), living closer to where you work and play, and choosing a home that reduces your impact on the environment. Consider urban living, explore Downtown and Midtown Sacramento.
