You've heard of the yellow pages--here it's The Green Pages, with listings of businesses dedicated to the green movement.

It's easy to think globally and act locally by supporting businesses in your area with eco-friendly practices.

Chamberlain Research
Without you, companies would be clueless, making products that the general public has no interest in purchasing (remember Crystal Pepsi?) Your thoughts, opinions, and ideas have fueled some of the coolest products and services available today.  TiVo, on-line banking, and the iPod are just a few examples of what can happen when companies listen to what you have to say. Chamberlain relies on you to be our sounding board, advisory panel, our no-holds-barred partner in research that tells us exactly what you think; we’re always ready to listen.

From green topics, to local legislation and policy, to new product development, and customer satisfaction, you’ll get to talk with interesting people with interesting ideas.  You’ll get to hear about those hush-hush ideas before anyone else.  And best of all, you usually earn a little cash to boot.

Rockweiler Insulation

211 Legion Street
Verona, WI  53593
608-845-7625
www.rockweilerinsulation.com


For 25 years, Rockweiler Insulation has been helping serving southern Wisconsin save energy and stay green through the installation of the area’s highest quality insulation services.

A well-insulated home or office helps limit energy consumption, which in turn reduces carbon dioxide pollution that is produced from the burning of coal, oil and gas used to heat and cool homes.  Reducing carbon dioxide emissions also helps control greenhouse gasses.

Rockweiler provides insulation from CertainTeed – a fiber glass insulation that often uses both pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled glass. The result?  Saving energy and reducing waste.

Rockweiler Insulation has a very basic mission - to provide top-quality insulation services to builders and home owners. Their work has proven dependable no matter what type of insulation project they tackle, and each is handled on-time and on-budget. They always go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction, and their quality continues to show through their many satisfied customers.
Rutabaga
Rutabaga Paddlesports LLC
220 West Broadway
Monona, WI 53716
www.rutabaga.com



The best way to tread lightly on the earth is to not tread on it at all. Kayaks and canoes leave absolutely no trace, not even footprints or tire tracks. Once a boat passes through the water, all is as it was.

Rutabaga Paddlesports is a family-owned, family-run business that exists to provide opportunities to enjoy the outdoors without using fossil fuels. We are deeply committed to LNT (leave no trace) principles, and we use wind power and carbon offsets to reduce our footprint. Our store vehicles are high-efficiency vehicles or biodiesel-powered, and our shop is being remodeled using green materials and high-efficiency lighting to further reduce our impact on the environment. We lead our industry to develop programs to recycle shipping materials and share them among competitors to keep polyethylene and bubble wrap out of the landfills. We love the earth, the water that covers her, and the opportunity to share both with you.

save 25% on your food bills
So the price of food has gone up about 8% in the past year, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.  I'd have more sympathy for a lot of Americans who are upset about soaring food costs if it weren't for the fact that most of them can reduce what they spend on food by about 25% if they'd only do as my mother always told me "Shut your yap and...
