Happy #EarthDay! Here's your final Earth-friendly "Tip of the Day"- It's Spring- spend more time outside! When you are outside, you are not using electricity and other resources inside.

Earth-friendly "Tip of the Day" - Do some research. What environmental issues does your community face? What can you do to help resolve those issues, or at least improve them?

Earth- friendly "Tip of the Day" -Change all your lightbulbs to energy efficient bulbs. LED bulbs are the best choice. And not only do you conserve energy- you save money on your electric bill!
