One of the easiest things to do – yet so often neglected – is turning off the lights in your home. Another? Shut off the faucet when cleaning or brushing your teeth. You can save an average of 30 gallons of water while washing dishes – saving you $$ (that would instead be going down the drain…!)
Are you looking for some new jewelry & bored with your current pieces?
Rather than buying new or cheap jewelry, explore recycling options for gold you own! Or, try inquiring with local artisans who can rebuild it into something new. Websites like greenKarat offer recycling options as well as new (to you) pieces!
Want to reduce your paper footprint further?
Another way to reduce your paper (besides saying no to receipts) is paying bills and receiving invoices online.
PECO, Comcast, Direct TV and many other local Philadelphia Companies have paperless billing & payment options. Reminders show up in your inbox & online payment is secure.
It’s holiday and party season! Entertaining guests can get hectic when everyone has cups, cans and glasses.
Here’s a couple of ideas to reduce water & waste when entertaining & imbibing:
Do you plan ahead by defrosting food on the counter or use a microwave 5 minutes before dinnertime? 
(OR if you have to defrost some turkey, tofurkey, or meat/etc this Thanksgiving…)
Try planning ahead & defrosting frozen foods in the refrigerator instead… You’ll lower the fridge’s temperature, saving you energy (and money!)
