Fun Facts

Try DIY repairs.

If something your family uses regularly breaks, don’t assume it’s a lost cause. Take the time to fix it yourself, or take it in to a professional for proper repairs.

Recycle old electronics.

Prevent hazardous elements (including mercury, cadmium and lead) from ending up in landfills. You can also salvage reusable metals such as copper, silver and gold

Enjoy an eco-friendly move.

Go for a green move by renting reusable moving crates; wrapping your breakables in old newspaper, sheets or towels; and using biodegradable packing peanuts.

Go screen-free.

Take a regular digital detox. Unplug the TV, computer, phone and other electronics for a day. Go outside. Connect with people face to face. Be mindful of the world around you.

Rehome or donate items.

Before you toss a perfectly good item into the trash, ask friends and family if they want it or donate it to a local charity. After all, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure!

Minimize paper mail.

Less mail means less paper waste and clutter in the home. Help save trees with online bills and payments. Contact companies and ask to be removed from junk mail lists.

Make your lifestyle even more eco-friendly by using clean energy.
