There’s more to going green than recycling

Recycling is an important part of conservation, but that alone won’t solve our planet’s pollution issues. There are a number of other small changes you can easily make that will have a positive impact on the environment.

Consider taking these steps:

– Opt out of junk mail to reduce paper waste.

– Switch to chemical-free cleaning products, or create your own.

– Air dry your clothes to save energy and reduce wear and tear on the fabric.

– Use a Nest thermostat to automatically adjust temperatures based on your schedule.

– Clean your car’s air filter to reduce car emissions and minimize gas waste.
