Be Kinder to the Environment

Below are some tips to help you and your family become more environmentally conscious:
1. Recycle and buy minimally packed goods when possible.
2. Wash clothes in cold or warm water.
3. Install low-flow shower heads to use less water.
4. Run the dishwasher only when full and don’t use heat to dry dishes.
5. Replace standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
6. Plug air leaks in windows and doors.
7. Replace old appliances with energy efficient models.
8. Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation whenever possible.
9. Adjust your thermostat - lower in winter, higher in summer.
10. Share these simple steps with friends and family and increase awareness.
