Random blah, blah, blah


In the beginning of this blog I may post a lot, I just feel like I have a bunch of information that I want to share.


Fact:

We dump most of the magazines printed in the U.S. each year (about 8 million tons) into landfills. If we recycled just half of them, we could save over 12 million cubic yards of landfill space.


Recycle in various ways, offer magazines to libraries or schools that may be able to use them. Maybe doctor offices for their waiting rooms or barber shops, just ask them to discard them properly after they are used.


Tip:

Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year


Air filters in your car should be changed when your oil is changed every 3000 miles. If you bring it to a service shop they probably won't do it unless you ask them to. Air filter in your AC unit should be check, cleaned, or replaced before you start to use them each season.


What have you done to make a greener tomorrow?
