What can you do?
- See the light
switch to compact fluorescent bulbs that use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs
- Run the trail, not your water
shut the water off while you brush your teeth, shave, soap up, shampoo, etc. You'll save hundreds of gallons each year and put money in the bank too!
- Wash it right - new low-flow and energy star washers and dryers use a fraction of the water and energy of their predecessors. Upgrade if you an afford it.
- Charge it
Never throw batteries in the garbage. Collect them and take them to a recycling center. Better yet, use solar energy or rechargeable whenever possible
- Color your paper green
Switch to 100% recycled paper. You'll save trees and reduce landfill waste
- Cloth is so soft
Use cloth shopping bags instead of plastic. Use rags and old clother instead of paper towels for cleaning.
- Recycle, Recycle, Recycle
Recycle newspapers and office paper. Recycle plastic and aluminum beverage containers. Recycle botttles too.
- Plant a tree or two or three...
If you have a yard, furnish it with trees and other drought tolerant plants. If you don't have a yeard, donate to Arbor day organizations to have trees planted in your name.
- Show your support
Support those companies and organizations that employ environmentally sensible practices
