Tip of the Month
Small Things You Can Do To Save
Energy:
Your appliances need a tune-up too; clean all filters and coils.
Earth:
Avoid waste by using reusable cloths and rags instead of paper towels to clean.
Air:
Use potpourri instead of aerosol based sprays.
Water:
Use a broom rather than a water hose to clean walkways, driveways and sidewalks.
