According to public information manager Barbara L. Page, “We are so excited these companies are offering “green” discounts to County residents. Most of the coupons are good through the end of June and some last much longer. We urge people to visit the web site at www.skysavers.org to learn about air quality, take real action to help the environment, and save some money as well.” Call 805/435-3103 for more information.
