Here are a few tips to be greener and save green along the way.
1- Don’t preheat the oven. Unless making pastries or baking, don’t preheat the oven. Just place your tray in the oven and peak through the window as opposed to opening the oven.
2- Don’t Rinse. No need to rinse dishes when using a dishwasher. Skip this and save up to 20 gallons of water per load!
3- Recycle and Re-Use glass. Recycled glass reduces air pollution by 20% or more and related water pollution by as much as 50%. Also- re-use glass containers to store food, much healthier than plastics.
4-Hang Dry. Gas and Electric dryers make clothes look worn and use lots of energy. Run a clothes line in your backyard and let your clothes blow in the breeze, they will appear new- longer, smell fresher and your clothes will last longer.
5-Go vegetarian. Replace one beef meal with One vegetarian meal per week and we will save 2500 gallons of water it takes to produce just one pound of meat.
