December 24, 2025Local Business Launches Sustainable Holiday Campaign
“This collaboration brings together Santa Barbara businesses with a shared sustainable ethos,” said Gary Simpson, owner of Santa Barbara Home Improvement Center. “Long after the holidays, AeroHance Pods keep putting money back in drivers’ wallets while helping the environment. We’re protecting nest eggs — and our nest.”
AeroHance, a Santa Barbara business, has teamed up with Santa Barbara Home Improvement Center to introduce a holiday campaign promoting savings and sustainability through its locally developed AeroHance Pods. The easy-to-install accessory improves vehicle aerodynamics, increasing fuel efficiency for gas cars and extending range for EVs – each gallon saved prevents about 20 pounds of CO₂ emissions.
Aerohance Pods are available at the Santa Barbara Home Improvement Center in classic black and upcycled holiday editions. Early adopters such as Santa Barbara Airbus, Ablitt’s Cleaners, Renaud’s Patisserie, Kanaloa Seafood, Easy Lift, and even Jean-Michel Cousteau helped validate fuel savings and environmental benefits. AeroHance Pods are upcycled from excess materials in Deckers’ shoe-sole molds, diverting factory waste into beneficial products.
