Our Environment



What are you doing to help save our environment??

Did you know that if you turn the water off while brushing your teeth, you can save 8 gallons of water?

Here are some of my favorite easy-to-do tips:
- don't print an email unless you really need to
- create and use note pads from once-used paper
- use a mug at work instead of disposable cup - or refill your water bottle
- turn lights off when not in the room
- Buy compact fluorescent light bulbs. You'll find more on energy-efficient products and practices at Energy Star
- Turn your car off if you’re going to be idle for more than one minute and do not use drive up windows. This activity produces large amounts of toxic emissions. Idling for more than 30 seconds burns more gas than it takes to restart the engine or than if the car were moving.
- don't fill our landfills - recycle your technology. Dell, Hewlett Packard, Apple, and IBM, among others, offer recycling programs.

DO YOUR PART!
