 A Message from the President
At PLCU, we too are committed to thinking green. To raise awareness of the need to be a good tenant of our planet, we are holding Earth Day activities in several branches: Rancho Bernardo Friday, April 20; Carlsbad, Monday, April 23; and Kearny Mesa, Friday, April 27. Our Kearny Mesa observance will also include a demonstration of solar panels, one of the most practical sources of renewable energy. Another way we’re celebrating our green world is by highlighting one of the most spectacular local displays of the beauty of nature: The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. We have discount coupons at all branches, as well as a green gift — a free flower bulb. Supplies are limited, so stop by a branch soon. We encourage you to go green by making it more affordable to reduce your carbon footprint. Our Green Living Loan is a low-cost way to pay for green projects for your home, from buying energy-efficient appliances to installing solar heating systems. And our Green Auto Loans give you a discount when you buy a vehicle with an EPA mileage rating of at least 32 MPG highway, hybrids, selected diesel vehicles, flexible dual-fuel, electric, ethanol, compressed natural gas and fuel cell powered vehicles. Keep in mind that more regular fuel vehicles qualify than you may think. Check out your choices here. You can apply for a Green Living Loan or Green Auto Loan online, which helps us reduce paper usage. Every little bit helps! It’s sometimes easy to take our Earth for granted, and think that we as individuals can’t make much of a difference. But together, even small acts can add up to big changes. |
