Can one person really make a difference? Silk Soymilk thinks so. Silk has been dedicated to making a better, more healthy world for years. They were even voted a top environmentally friendly brand by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) . Yep, they’ve been putting their money where their mouth is!
In addition to providing a delicious variety of soymilk products, Silk believes in harnessing the power of “renewable energy”. This type of energy is considered “clean energy” because it does not pollute the air or contribute to the global warming crisis. Green energy also increases our energy independence, improves the security of our energy sources, and creates more jobs. Silk offsets all of their energy consumption with wind energy and even earned the Green Power Partner of the Year award for 2006.
Did you know that the generation of electricity is the single largest source of industrial air pollution? It’s true. And the average American household produces more than 35,000 pounds of green house gases each year. What you can you do? Well Silk is going to give you an easy way to help out!
They’ve launched their “Green Caps for Green Energy” promotion and it’s truly something special. Whenever you buy a Silk Soymilk product with a green cap, you can then go to SilkSoymilk.com and enter your carton’s UPC number. This will enter you in their sweepstakes for a green home makeover. But even more exciting, for every code entered Silk will increase their overall green power contribution by 30 kWts hours… that’s enough to power an average home for an entire day! You get a delicious healthy beverage and you get to help the world too! I bought my carton of the chocolate Silk Soymilk and entered the UPC number on their site just today. 
Don’t forget to add it to your shopping list this week and look for the green cap!

Our efforts on behalf of the world’s poorest people to raise awareness and spur our leaders to action have saved millions of lives. Taking our campaign to the 2008 presidential race means taking our fight against extreme poverty to an entirely new level.”
