Shred Hard Walk Lightly...

What are the Carbon Shredders??

YOU are the Bonnaroo Carbon Shredders.  YOU want to help the planet. YOU want to save $ by being more efficient with your energy use. YOU may have hung with us at our booth, stepped in some green paint, and signed a pledge to reduce your Carbon Footprint 10% by Bonnaroo 2009.

Either way, here?s what you can do now:

1.      Track your carbon-footprint and energy savings with the online Bonnaroo Carbon Shredders Group. The average home that goes on a Low Carbon Diet will save $1200 per year. Some of us are saving over $3,000 per year!

2.      Take responsibility for your impact on the planet and your community. The first step is to reduce waste. We can literally save thousands of dollars per home per year with basic efficiency and cut our energy use in HALF. We aren?'t making this up, hundreds of Shredders have already done this.

3.      HAVE FUN! Check out this video of Carbon Shredders getting funky on ?da bus?!
