Think Green

1. Turn off the lights or the TV when leaving the room.

2. Remember to recycle your magazines, newspapers, soda cans, etc.

7. Walk, bike or take the bus when you can.

8. Set the thermostat in your house 2 degrees cooler in winter and 2 degrees warmer in summer.

9. Plant a shade tree on the sunny side of your house.
