1. Be More Green

2. • Microwave glass, not plastic.
• If you use plastic make sure it is microwave safe.
However, microwaving many plastics can cause
leaching into foods. It’s safest to use glass.

3. • Buy Local Produce
• Buy locally raised, humane and organic products.
Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the
local economy.

4. • Take Shorter Showers
• You can take shorter showers or install a low flow
showerhead.

5. • Meatless Monday
• One meatless day a week has the same impact as
driving a hybrid car! Raising livestock produces
large amounts of green house gas.

6. • Bring Your Own Bags
• Re-usable grocery bags are more eco-friendly than
disposable plastic bags. To keep your bags germ
free make sure they are machine washable.

7. • Recycle Properly
• Recycling materials saves energy. Materials like
aluminum or glass can be re-used without being
down cycled into products of lesser material.

8. • Leave Shoes By The Door
• This prevents germs, chemicals, exhaust and
pesticides from being tracked all over your home.

9. • Don’t Drink Plastic Bottled Water
• There are great re-usable water bottle products with
water filters. And there are filters you hook up right
to your water faucet. Regular plastic water bottles
create large amounts of container waste.

10. • Turn Off Electronics
• Before bed or when you leave the house make sure
all electronics are off. Try using a UL Certified
power strip.

11. • Roofing systems that are in full working order save
you on your electricity bill and reduce your carbon
footprint.
• Call the Boy’s in Blue to inspect your roof.
