It is so nice to see this type of work being done for folks without the means to go green.

It means we can all help folks financially and help the planet environmentally at the same time. We all win. What is just as exciting is to know that Citizenre will have 5% of it’s production going toward sustainable projects. As the Citizenre brand becomes a household name and we start doing community sustaining projects like these we will have so much to be thankful for. Just imagine these projects being done on a massive scale all over the country!

Yea America,

In-joy,

Bruce

Excerpt from article:

KFSN — A brand new Habitat for Humanity home was dedicated Saturday to a Fresno family in need. But this donated home will be helping more than just the family for years to come.

The Ayala family of 9 walked into their brand new five bedroom home for the first time Saturday. A welcome move from the three bedroom apartment they were living in.

Augustine Ayala says he’s proud to call this house home. It’s nestled in the Crossroads Community made up of 89 homes all built by Habitat for Humanity.

But the Ayala’s home will get something extra thanks to a $150,000 donation from PG&E ten habitat homes are getting solar panels.

The utility estimates it will save each family about $500 a year in energy costs. Al Galvez, PG&E Public Affairs Manager, says “But not only that- it’s the environmental issue- carbon dioxides will be saved from going into the atmosphere. Big plus for the environment, big plus for the family.”
