In honor of Earth Day and its commitment to the environment, Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation is giving environmentally themed gifts to all elementary schools in its service area: a reusable tote bag with the book “True Green Kids: 100 Things You Can Do to Save the Planet,” along with a “CFL Charlie Super Energy Saver” kit full of energy saving energy information that teaches children how to help save the environment through energy efficiency.
