treehugger.com Debuts Joe the (Green) Plumber
October 28, 2008
SACRAMENTO, CA: Water conservation is an important topic not just for our planet, but for consumers and the economy too. Popular environmental website Treehugger.com brought attention to the connection between conservation and economic savings recently in a front-page feature called "Joe the Green Plumber." In the post, Treehugger contributor Brian Merchant gives his advice to recent political phenom Joe the Plumber: "With the demand for eco-conscionable services reaching an all time high, Joe could look into getting himself accredited in one of the free GreenPlumber workshops put on by GreenPlumbers USA," Merchant writes. "He could help give a boost to the green economy by joining 'a green army of thousands of plumbers to promote the benefits of water conservation and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.'"
Merchant has obviously gotten the word that GreenPlumbers is educating plumbers in environmental issues, and that's good news for the earth and great news for consumers looking to conserve more water, energy – and the resources in their wallets, too.
