EarthShare of Texas H-E-B 2012 Tear Pad Program

CEC is pleased to announce that H-E-B has selected EarthShare of Texas to be the beneficiary of its in-store coupon promotion for April, in recognition of Earth Day. This means that customers can tear off and add check-out coupons worth $1, $3, or $5 to their total bill.

H-E-B has supported many EarthShare of Texas organizations with corporate grants or in-kind contributions. The April tear-pad promotion enables H-E-B customers to support the program work of Earth Share of Texas organizations. CEC will benefit, because the contributions will be divided among EarthShare of Texas organizations with program work in the Houston/Gulf Coast Markets. CEC Member Groups that will benefit:

• Bayou Land Conservancy
• Bayou Preservation Association
• Environmental Defense Fund
• Galveston Bay Foundation
• Houston Audubon
• Katy Prairie Conservancy
• The Nature Conservancy
• SPARK
• Texas Campaign for the Environment
• Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation
• The Trust for Public Land

Look for the EarthShare of Texas display and tear-off coupons at the check-out stands in H-E-B stores and the Central Markets store April 4th through April and into the first week in May. And help support EarthShare of Texas and the Texas environment! More at www.earthshare-texas.org.

CEC is pleased to announce the second year of The Reliant EcoShareSM, a way that Texans can support CEC and offset their own carbon production at the same time. Reliant and EarthShare of Texas have launched a program that allows Reliant customers to help reduce their carbon footprints through the purchase of carbon offsets. And for each customer-purchased offset, Reliant will make a contribution to EarthShare of Texas and its participating organizations. As an EarthShare of Texas participating organization, CEC will benefit from this program.
