Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Thursday, November 11th:
• Many believe that you use less gas idling your car than it takes to start the engine. Actually, idling your vehicle for more than 10 seconds exceeds the fuel needed to simply restart it. Waste, waste, waste; and ten seconds goes by in a flash, unless it’s an awkward pause…then it seems a lifetime…
• In the habit of leaving your computer on? Do it and your electric bill a favor and shut it down when it’s not in use. Go one step further and turn off the power strip it’s hooked into, as well!
On average how much junk mail do you think you receive a week? Five to ten pieces, or maybe it’s ten to twenty? What strikes me boldly is the waste. Endless piles of paper, serving no purpose other than to clog up first, our mailboxes and eventually, landfills. But what can we do? There’s a couple of websites that help with the process of getting yourself off direct mail lists: and https://www.optoutprescreen.com/?rf=t. Beware: sometimes, it costs money to enlist their services, so choose carefully. Perhaps another option is to make sure you don’t end up on the list in the first place. Whenever a cashier or website asks for your address or phone number for a company's rewards program, you're probably being added to a list of other victims soon to be dealing with said company's direct-mail campaign. Corporations track your purchases to identify what products you are more likely to buy, but a resounding "no" to their original offer to join that crowded club, can save you some postal harassment and subsequent trips to your shredder. Down with tangible spam on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
