Eco News & Site UpdatesGreen Tips of the Day
Keep a Pitcher of Water in Your Fridge
For one thing, a pitcher full of water will help your refrigerator keep your food cool more efficiently,
much like how a cold ice pack works in a cooler. Also, whenever you
want a glass of water, you won't have to let the tap run for a few
moments to obtain a cool temperature, cutting down on waste. Plus you won't
need as much ice, which requires energy to make.
Create a carpool program
As an employer, many of your employees may want to carpool, but don’t know where
coworkers live or simply don’t have the courage to ask around. You can
help by administering a program to get them connected.
