Environmental Tip of the Day

Make it a full load!

Run your dishwasher only when it's full. Don't pre-rinse dishes - tests show pre-rinsing doesn't improve dishwasher cleaning, and you'll save as much as 20 gallons of water per load. When you buy a new dishwasher, look for one that saves water. Water-efficient models use only about only about 4 gallons per wash.

Environmental Tip of the Day

Opt for E-Books.

Instead of buying new books in paper form, try purchasing the e-book version online. That way there will be less trees cut down to supply the demand for paper form books. Also, e-books are easily accessed whenever and whereever without having to tote along a heavy book.

Students, opt for the e-book version of your textbooks for class. Trust me when I say this is much more efficient. Not only will you have less to carry but e-books are easily accessible with great features! You can highlight lines and also leave notes in the e-book. As long as you have your computer, you have your textbook. You can also borrow and/or rent textbooks.
