OPINION CORNER: Conservation Efforts |
|
Today the world faces serious environmental challenges. There is a looming climate crisis and continued increases in levels of air pollution. Planting trees helps add oxygen to the atmosphere. Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis. What can we do to help our environment? |
|
- Grow a vegetable garden – A garden preserves green space, reduces waste, and means fewer trips to the store. Plant bushes and trees. They add oxygen to the atmosphere.
-
Change your incandescent (old) bulbs to more energy-efficient (LED) light bulbs. They are up to 75% more efficient. Ask at your local hardware store for more information on energy-efficient light bulbs.

And this is what our staff are doing to help the environment: |

Beth Moyer: "I use my reusable bags for shopping and reuse plastic bags when I can't use my own bags."
Laura Perez: " I often buy things at Flea Markets and Yard Sales and find things that people throw out and transform these "found objects" into art, furniture, and craft items, for myself and my friends. I use some of these items for paint and craft parties with adults and with children."
Dr. Pat Daniels: "I planted a flower garden and a small vegetable garden this year."
Heather Helmer: “I recycle plastic water bottles, cardboard toilet paper holders, newspapers/junk mail. Clean out cans of vegetables or jars of sauces and recycle them. I do not leave refrigerator or freezer doors open. I do not leave the water running when I brush my teeth. In spring and summertime, I use a drying rack / clothesline for drying clothes instead of an electric dryer.”

“Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path -unless you’re in the woods - and you’re lost - and you see a path, then, by all means, you should follow that.”– Ellen DeGeneres |
