The customisable packages from Earth Aid Enterprises start at $68 for a dorm room, $82 for a one-bed flat, and $201 for a three-bed home. The accompanying website offers carbon calculators designed to tally a household's needs and potential resource savings.A family of three would save $460 in energy bills and 7,442 pounds of carbon after using a kit for a year, claims the company, which was recently launched by college graduates in Washington, D.C.
