Go Green

Go Green!

Are you beginning to think that what you are doing for the environment is not having an impact? Well here is some proof that what you are doing helps; and some more tips for going green.

As we all know going green is more than a trend, it’s a lifestyle.

Tips. . .

This fall instead of a leaf blower use a rake instead.

Winter is just around the corner, don’t expect your thermostat to keep you warm in summer-wear. Instead dress for the weather; it’s just as trendy.

Choose LED (light emitting diodes) For your holiday decor they are just as good, if not better than regular lights, they stay cool and use only .04 watt That’s a .41 difference, oh and did I mention they last up to 10 times longer.

Unplug your appliances. When devices such as lamps are plugged in and not in use up to 40% electricity.

You can make a difference!

Did you know that every time you recycle a soda can it can power a TV for up to 3 hours

If you use cloth towels instead of paper towels you are playing a big part in not only reducing global warming and shrinking landfills, but you are also saving the world we all live in.

Do you use reusable bags? This also helps the world tremendously. Plastic Bags are a major contributor to landfills. Did you know that a plastic bag can be recycled? Or that a plastic bag can take 1,000’s of years to decompose. Every time you use your reusable bags you are saving us 1,000’s of years of landfills. Thank You!
