Helping Your Family Go Green Checklist

Since it is Earth day, I thought it would be fitting to post a checklist that can help you start GOING GREEN today!

1. Save water by decreasing your shower time -- or rather take a bath, which uses less water than a shower.
2. Get in the habit of brushing your teeth with the water off, and encourage your children to do so, as well.
3. Switch from paper and plastic bags to reusable bags and totes.
4. Opt for direct deposit, online banking, and paperless statements to reduce your paper usage.
5. Unplug all of your appliances when you leave the house to save energy (and prevent a fire hazard).
6. Keep one set of dishes at the office, including: a cup, utensils, bowl, and plate. This will prevent you from reaching for disposable utensils, cups, and plates.
7. Use rechargeable batteries -- Duracell now has a line of pre-charged rechargeable batteries!

HAPPY EARTH DAY! TOGETHER WE CAN TRULY MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
