Summer Reminders |
|
Summer is just
around the corner and many of us rush through
the work in order to get to the play. Just a
quick reminder of some of the easiest things you
can do (and fun too) that are good for the
planet and even good for you!

-
Recycle wherever you go! Make it a habit.
Bottles, cans, soda boxes, cereal boxes,
newspapers, and cardboard. It all goes in one
bin now.
-
Walk to work! Or maybe ride the bus instead of
driving. OR, my favorite, RIDE A BIKE!

-
Act like Jack! By making compost from food and
yard trimmings, your compost will contribute to
your plants reacting like the beans in Jack in

retain water in your soil too.

-
Use the Library!
Walk to the library and use
their books instead of buying books. The money
you make returning your bottles and cans for
cash you can donate to the Library so that they
can buy more books! Remember, they can find any
book you want. Just ask.
-
Stop Junk Mail!
Yes, recycling is wonderful but
save a tree and don’t get it in the first place.

They charge a $1 now but it is well worth it.
-
Evaluate all your reports and systems at work!
Stop wasting paper by printing one-sided reports
and especially those that are not necessary.
-
Reuse folders, pens, pencils, one-sided paper
whenever possible! Dedicate a section of your
home closet or a section at work. Label the
areas (to prevent it from becoming a chaos
station).
-
Copy your stuff using BOTH SIDES!
I see many
handouts using just one side instead of copying
on both sides. Take the time and save the paper.
Scan and PDF copies! Lots of times, at meetings,
people do not
