Change One Thing!

We all have the opportunity to create a cleaner, healthier, and sustainable environment for our future. Each of us can make minor modification to our lifestyles that cumulatively, can have a big impact on the Earth. Each newsletter, we'll feature one or two tips that you can make part of your daily routine to help create a sustainable future - for our children, and for theirs.

  • Shut off your lights when not in use.
  • Be sure to turn off your computer when you're not using it! It uses a lot of energy - even when in sleep mode.
  • Make sure to always properly dispose of hazardous chemicals at the local Household Chemical Waste Depot. Never pour unused chemicals down storm drains - that water goes directly into our creeks and rivers untreated.
