Green Tips For Everyone

Is going Green on your mind for the start of the year? Here are some ways you can Go Green and help the environment.

• Check with your city about local recycling programs. Many are free or are included in your trash pickup.
• Buy a container to store your recycling materials in. You will find it very easy to recycle when you have the area and container to do it in.
• Use your shredded paper for storing away household items or sending packages to relatives.
• Look into recycling your old cell phones that are in the junk drawer or that the kids are playing with. Many cell phone stores have drop off areas that you can put your old cell phones in so they do not end up in the landfill.
• Turn you thermostat down (cooler) a few degrees in the winter and up (warmer) in the summer to reduce your heating and cooling consumption. 
• Look for Green products at your local store.
• Buy local produce and shop locally for items that you need. This helps the local economy and the local farmer.
• Walk or bike to your destinations or keep your vehicle running correctly and your tires inflated to the correct psi to help with fuel economy.

Of course there are many things you can do to Go Green. If everyone can do just a little bit, it will help. See what you can do this year to contribute to the Go Green campaign.
