Ways to Go Green and save some Green

There are a lot of ways to live a greener life, but many of those ways are not feasible for the average person’s lifestyle. Here are some simple and easy ways to be a little greener:

1. Run the washer with only full loads of laundry and use cold water.
2. Run the dishwasher only with a full load of dishes in it.
3. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth.
4. Turn off the lights and television when you leave a room.
5. Carpool whenever possible whether it is to work, your child’s soccer practice down the street, or church services.
6. Run errands in the same location at the same time and/or while you are passing by (stop by the grocery store when you pass it on your way home from work instead of making a separate trip–it also saves time).
7. Keep your blinds closed in extreme cold and warm weather.
8. Shut down the computer when not in use.
9. Repair leaky faucets and toilets.
10. Install a rain barrel to water your plants (Workshop – June 15th at the Rec Center).
11. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!
