Things That Make You Go Green

Have you ever bought magazine subscriptions, candy bars, newspaper subscriptions, or those delicious but ever-so-bad for you Girl Scout cookies as part of a fundraising drive? If your answer is no, then you either don’t live around kids, or you don’t have nephews and nieces hitting you up for some fundraising. Well, the last possibility is that you also may not spend money on what you don’t really need.

I came across a company called LetsGoGreen.biz , which was started by Kyle Jodice. It’s a very unique company that combines fundraising with an eco friendly twist. Essentially, groups can sign up with LetsGoGreen.biz and receive 25 percent of the proceeds for items they sell. I recently had a chance to speak with Kyle, and he gave me some great perspective on LetsGoGreen.biz and why he started it.

Kyle was a defense contractor for many years before starting LetsGoGreen.biz . He was watching a Diane Sawyer special during last Earth Day when he had a light bulb moment and thought of LetsGoGreen.biz. He always wanted to run his own business, so he launched the company last September with his brother and hasn’t looked back since. Thus far, Kyle has seen good participation from schools and church groups, which sign up so they can get 25 percent of the proceeds for the goods their members purchase. There’s no cost for groups to sign up and people purchase directly from “http://www.letsgogreen.biz”>LetsGoGreen.biz so they don’t have to handle inventory or distribution of any items.
Although LetsGoGreen.biz is currently focused on products around the home, the company is quickly expanding their product offering. Kyle charges standard UPS shipping rates, and doesn’t even add a handling charge. Although returns aren’t typically accepted, products will be replaced if they are broken.

LetsGoGreen.biz also sells to the general public in addition to supporting fundraising programs. Currently, Kyle is offering a 25% discount to ThingsThatMakeYouGoGreen.com readers. When you go to website, enter “FRIEND” in the Coupon Code box, and the 25% discount will be automatically applied to your entire order. Next time you hear a knock on your door or your nephew comes asking for a donation, you might be buying some new light bulbs instead of another magazine subscription you can’t read or box of cookies you shouldn’t eat.
