November 2008 Tip:  Estimates range between one and twenty-five million tons of extra waste generated each week between Thanksgiving and the New Year.  In all, this includes 38,000 miles of ribbon, enough to tie a bow around the Earth!  See sites such as http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/publiced/Holidays/ and http://earth911.com/seasonal/green-your-holidays/ for more green holiday facts and ideas

 

October 2008 TipAs proven by the wild and crazy folks on The Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters,” it is cheaper for  you to turn out the lights when you leave a room – even if you’ll be back in just a minute! Try it for a month, and look for results on your November/December electric bill.
