Everyday Greening Tips!

HERE ARE SOME EVERYDAY GREEN LIVING TIPS FROM GREEN BOY!



Windows- Larger windows which face South help bring in natural light for warmth in the winter.


Appliances - Turn off the dishwasher after the rinse cycle and allow dishes to dry on their own.



Lights- Utilize dimmers, light/time sensors to not only conserve energy and the life of light bulbs.


Rain Water- Rain barrel's are great to capture rain water and reuse for plants and flowers in the yard.
