Last Week's Tips to Live Green

Tip # 1 Why Recycle?
a. In the United States right now, landfills are filling up and closing at the rate of approximately 2 a day.
b. A glass bottle thrown away today will still be there in the year 3000.
c. In the United States, one in every six trucks in a garbage truck.

Tip # 2 Don't Top-it Off
Topping off at the gas tank wastes fuel by releasing fumes into the atmosphere and creates air bubbles in the gas which burns less efficiently.Other fuel saving tips can be found at About.Com:Cars



Tip #3 Smart Irrigation
Promotes healthy and attractive landscaping by improving watering efficiency with new “Smart” technologies such as smart irrigation controllers, a device that gives your plants the right amount of water for the time of year, climate and weather and rotating sprinkler nozzles, that can water your landscape better using 20 percent less water. Use these technologies together for the most savings!
