We work hard to give our children the best and to teach our children well.

By becoming a good Green example, we can teach our children responsibility and respect for the earth. These are lessons that will not only help the earth, but they will help build character.

 

Some Simple Tips for Going Green

  • Recycle newspaper & cardboard
  • Recycle your plastic bottles however, take the lids off and throw them out
  • Clean the lint basket in your dryer. This will make the dryer run more efficiently.
  • Use canvas bags when shopping
  • Buy recycled paper products - paper towels & napkins.
  • Reduce the amount of red meat you consume
  • Bottle your own water

 

And some tips for your car & saving gas.

  • By getting your car tuned up, you will use less gas
  • Use a sun reflector in your car to keep your car cooler when parked out in the sun
  • Check your gas cap on your car for a good seal

  • Check your tire pressure

  • Buy gasoline during coolest time of day - early morning or late evening is best. During these times gasoline is densest. Keep in mind - gas pumps measure volumes of gasoline, not densities of fuel concentration. You are charged according to "volume of measurement".
