2 Ways to Be Green this Month

 

 

  • If you are driving home for winter break try to find a couple friends to carpool: it will save energy and the company will make the time pass faster!
  • Try to use recyclable material for presents during the holidays. You can buy some recyclable wrapping paper, or use old newspapers if you want to be creative!
