GREENPOWER ECO TIPS:
- Instead of sending old rugs, towels and blankets to the landfill, donate them to your local animal shelters.
- Buy shade grown coffee. It's grown under the rainforest canopy, preserving our forests which absorb CO2.
- Buy in bulk and share with friends and family! Everyone will save money, package waste, and gas costs.
- If every U.S. home replaced just one bulb with a CFL, we'd save enough energy to light 3 million homes yearly.
- Unplug devices you are not using, or use a power strip. Most devices still continue to draw electricity even after being powered off.
- Wash your car at a commercial carwash. They reuse their water and prevent oil and grime from entering the sewer system.
