Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

GO GREEN: Take your own mug to the coffee shops-some shops will even give you a discount for bringing in your own cup.

GO GREEN: Going on a last minute trip before the end of summer? Use your cruise control – you paid for those extra buttons in your car, so put them to work. When using cruise control your vehicle could get up to 15% better mileage.

GO GREEN: Give it away – before you throw something away, think about if someone else might need it. Donate to a charitable organization, such as the BROWN ELEPHANT (5404 N Clark St), which not only prevents waste but can also be used as for a tax write off.

GO GREEN: Get the junk out of your trunk (literally!) – extra weight in your car decreases fuel efficiency.

GO GREEN: Keep your freezer full – it runs more efficiently than an empty one.

GO GREEN: Have a yard sale – or visit one before you head out to buy something new.

GO GREEN: Take the stairs instead of the elevator – great for both the environment and your health.

GO GREEN: Buy a bigger jug of milk. If you only use half a gallon at a time, you can pour half the milk into a carafe and freeze the rest.
