Tips for Going Green
No paper, no plastic - Buy and use canvas or net tote bags to carry groceries and other purchases.
Toss properly - Batteries, electronic equipment, paints, and household chemicals such as cleaners and pesticides are among the items that should not be put out with the regular trash for landfill disposal. Contact your city or county government or a local environmental organization for information on how to dispose of those materials properly.
Change a bulb, change the world - Compact fluorescent light bulbs emit the same light as classic incandescents but use 75% to 80% less electricity.
Recycle cans, bottles, and paper - Even in communities where recycling is not mandatory you can recycle these items. Call your local municipality or county government to find out where you can pick up recycle bins and where the nearest drop off location is to you.
Support your local farmer - When you "buy local", you build support for local agriculture, which means less food has to be shipped long distances.
Get insulated - Reduce energy usage by adding insulation to your home. Wrap your hot water heater and pipes with insulation to save even more energy. Turn your thermostat up in the summer and down in the winter, and use programable thermostats to better control your home temperature during the time when no one is home.
Both sides now - Cut paper use in half by setting all printers and copiers you use, at home and at work, to print on both sides of the paper. Think about every email or electronic document(s) you receive and if you do not absolutely have to print them, do not.
Flow lightly - Install plumbing fixtures such as toilets, shower heads and taps that reduce water flow and usage.
Patronize environmentally friendly businesses - these include garages that help do-it-yourselfers dispose of waste oil properly; retailers who offer a wide selection of recycled, organic and locally produced products; restaurants that wash and reuse plates and glasses instead of disposables; and businesses that use safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals.
Consolidate auto trips - Whenever possible make the best of each and every time you use your car. When you go to the grocery store schedule a stop at your dry cleaner and then afterwords stop at the boutique. By thinking closely about each and every trip we make we can conserve energy and reduce our energy costs as well.
Educate and lead by example - At every opportunity we need to teach our youth the importance of being environmentally friendly and the best way to make sure that the next generation does that is to lead by example.
