Ideas for Living Green

Drive Slow. Traveling at 60% consumes 40% less fuel than traveling
at 80 mph.
Wash your car using a bucket and a sponge. Turning off the water hose saves more than 100 gallons of water.
Replace regular incandescent light bulbs with long-lasting, compact fluorescent bulbs.
Use nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning products.
Let hot food and dishes cool off before placing them in the refrigerator. The appliance won't have to work as hard to cool the dish off.

Ideas for Working Green

Use both sides of a sheet of paper for printing, copying,
writing and drawing.
Arrange for collection of office waste paper and other materials
for recycling.
Make public transport information available to everyone at work.
Keep your mailing list updated – you'll save money on printing and mailing costs, and reduce waste throughout the printing process.
Recycle your printer ink cartridges and photocopier toners.

Buy recycled paper for invitations.
Find a caterer who will provide organic entrees.
Use real glasses, dishes, and cloth napkins instead of disposables.
Use potted plants in place of cut flowers for centerpieces. These can then be given as gifts or enjoyed in your home.
Give more experiences and fewer things. Just say no to dust collectors. Services or experiences mean more and waste less. Think gift certificates to spa, restaurant or for chores.
