Thoughts to Ponder

Reuse before Recyling

While the practice of recyling is wonderful, some items can be re-used and therefore cut down on the energy expended to use them. Commit to use a water bottle and refill it 4 times!

All of Your Beeswax

If 10,000 people opt for beeswax birthday candles instead of conventional, petroleum-based ones, we'll avert the weight of 4,000 birthday cakes in oil byproducts.

Wrapped in Plastic

Every year, Americans use enough plastic wrap to cover all of Texas. Switch to recycled, recyclable aluminum foil for safer, eco-friendlier food wrapping.

Lint Energy

If 10,000 people emptied their dryers’ lint filters after every load, the energy saved over a year could run a dryer up to 670,000 more times.
