Green Friendly Tips
Tips And Tricks To Make Your Life A Little Greener
New Year, New Habits
Switching from traditional incandescent bulbs to fluorescent is the easiest and most cost-efficient fix for saving energy.
Say Goodbye Paper Towels
The paper towel fad has created over 3,000 tons of waste each day. Put up a towel rack in your office bathroom and use dishtowels in the kitchen instead of being a paper towel junkie! And when you absolutely need to use that paper towel, buy recycled paper towels instead.
Recycle
A shocking 69 percent of Americans still don't recycle. Visit Earth911.com to find out what’s recyclable in your town!
Shop Smart
Be a smart shopper and try to steer clear of food and toys wrapped in excess packaging and plastics.
No More Wrapping!
Give gifts that minimize wrapping such as gift certificates and tickets to a rock concert or sporting event. Try baking treats for the family and using recycled mason jars for a container instead of buying plastic disposable containers.
Light Up With LED’s!
This year decorate your Christmas tree and home with LED Christmas Lights!
According to one U.S. Department of Energy study, if everyone replaced their conventional holiday light strings with LEDs, at least two billion kilowatt-hours of electricity could be saved in a month!
Save the Gift Wrap!
Get creative with your wrapping. Put gifts in handbags or nic-nac boxes instead of wrapping them. When a gift does need wrapping, consider using newspaper or paper bags as an alternative to gift-wrap, and don’t forget on Christmas Day to save those used pieces of wrapping paper and gift bags for next year!
