San Francisco, CA (PRWEB), December 11, 2008 -- With the holiday gift-giving season fast approaching and consumers' budgets tighter than ever, there is one thing everyone agrees on: it's all about saving money. Greenhome.com today announced the Top 10 Green Eco Products that save energy and make great holiday gifts.
"Consumers are realizing that one of the best ways to save green is to shop green," says Lawrence Comras, CEO of Green Home, a leading online retailer of green products. "Many of our Christmas gifts this year are actually engineered to save energy, be more efficient, last longer and put money back in your wallet."
Green Home's Top Ten List of the best energy saving gift ideas was compiled through a thorough analysis of their environmental products. The list assumes an average annual energy cost per US household of $2000, an average price of electricity of 10 cents per kilo-watt hour and incorporates manufacturers' data on typical use of each product.
"After calculating the energy savings of our green products, we were surprised to find how many pay for themselves within a year. With everything on our Top Ten List you're basically getting something for free," explains Comras.
