Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Monday, November 15th:
• In this age of Facebook, googling, utubing (is that a word?), etc., remind the kids to shut off the computer after they’ve logged off. It’s better for the computer and your electric bill.
• Last night on myth busters, they confirmed that keeping your tires air pressure at the recommended levels, ensures your vehicle is achieving the maximum fuel efficiency and giving you the most bang for your buck!
Less than two weeks away, Thanksgiving is looming and this year, my husband and I are hosting the celebration for our extended family. I’m looking forward to it, and dreading it all at the same time. Not because I don’t enjoy the family, I adore them one and all (just in case they’re listening!), but because of all the work that’s involved in organizing a gathering of that size, probably over twenty people. Taking shortcuts would be an option. Paper plates, plastic ware, store bought decorations, the list is endless of ways to cut corners. But time saved is not worth the impact on the environment. Eventually, the remnants of my special family gathering would end up sitting in a landfill and that does not sit well with me. Besides, I never get to use the good dishware, so it will see the sun for the day. I’d call it china, but, it’s merely the last set of dishes I own that is neither chipped or missing pieces. I keep it way up high away from the demolition crew better known as my family. I’ll use my best table cloth or cloths, cloth napkins, real silverware and encourage my daughter and her cousins to help with making our table centerpieces, place markers and other decorations to help us look as festive as I’m sure we’ll be feeling. Yes, indeed, I’m thankful to be green! The Go Green Ride at five on 92.1 WVTK!
