HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Did you know that one small change to "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" can make a difference? You'll save natural resources, energy and money, you'll reduce waste sent to landfills, and reduce your carbon footprint. You don't have to change everything you do all at once ... but consider changing one thing today to help save our planet!

• Lower your heater thermostat or raise your air conditioning thermostat by two degrees.
• Plant a tree, bushes, perrenials, or annual flowers. Plants help remove carbon dioxide from the air.
• Buy local.
• Make one of your meals plant-based.
• Swap one item that comes in single-use plastic for another item in sustainable packaging.
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth ... or aim for a 5-minute shower.
• Shut off lights when you leave the room.
• Use refillable water bottles and coffee cups.

This is just a sampling of the things you can easily do. There are many more. Hopefully you'll find something you can change to reduce your carbon footprint.
