Something You Can Do Each Day

DID YOU KNOW?

  1. BAG IT
    Get reusable cloth bags for the grocery store and the dry cleaners. More than 100 Billion plastic bags are thrown away each year.
     
  2. STOP JUNK MAIL
    Each year, 100 million trees are cut down for junk mail purposes alone! Contact the direct marketing association at http://www.dmachoice.org/ to remove your name from mailing lists of their members.
     
  3. SHUT DOWN
    The average computer left on all day, uses nearly 1000 Kilowatt hours of electricity a year, producing more than a ton of carbon emissions. So, turn off your computer anytime you are not on it, and eliminate the screen saver function, which uses more energy than the sleep mode.
     
  4. A MUG OF YOUR OWN
    Each year, Americans throw away 25 Billion polystyrene cups and 25 Billion individual water bottles. Buy a reusable to-go mug and a bottle you can refill with filtered tap water.
