Use the Most Eco-Friendly Energy of All: Human Energy

Posted on by

Our Go Green tip for today: Choose to walk. Going somewhere close? Walking is healthy and green! The next time you need to pick up a few things from the grocery store or stop by the post office, burn a few calories and help out the environment by using your own energy to get you there. See your community from a new perspective and get the whole family involved in these walking trips. Each step you take reduces your environmental footprint, which is better for everyone!

Cool Yourself Off Naturally

Our Go Green tip for today: Adjust your thermostat. Now that the weather is turning warm, open windows and use fans to cool yourself—and your home—down. For those long hours during the day when no one’s home, set your thermostat up higher so you don’t waste all that cold air. By giving your air conditioner (and heater in the winter!) a break, you’re making a huge impact on the environment and your utility bill. Next time you’re cold, put on a sweater instead of turning up the temperature. Before long, it’ll be part of your routine!

Don’t Let Your Money Fly Out the Window

Our Go Green tip for today: Insulate your home. Homes use more energy than cars and planes. By sealing cracks around windows and adding insulation, you can save 30% of the heat that a typical family wastes. This is such an easy way to help the environment and your pocketbook. Your cold toes will thank you come winter!

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark!

Our Go Green tip of the day: Turn off lights that aren’t in use. Don’t be afraid of the dark! When you leave a room, flip the switch and save energy. This may be something you do already, but sometimes a gentle reminder helps us remember that an act this small is still helping to save the earth. If each of us took a pledge to be more diligent about turning off lights, imagine the positive impact we could have on our environment and on the lives of future generations.

This Go Green canvas tote bag serves as a great reminder to live green, too. Featuring several of the Go Green stamp images, the large, sturdy bag is perfect for picnics and family outings. Ditch the plastic, disposable bags (they aren’t good for the environment, anyway) and take this with you the next time you need an extra hand.
