Tip of the Day

Summer is here and who doesn’t enjoy a cold beverage at the beach. Just don’t buy the styrofoam cooler. Get yourself a nice, reusable cooler that will be your beach buddy for many seaside years to come.

Use refurbished electronics. You can get refurbished electronics for a steal (they often sell for less than 50 percent of the retail price!), and before they’re resold to the public, they go through an intense defect-testing process and the warranties usually remain intact. So you can save money and help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.

Carpool to reduce the number of cars on the road and your transportation expenses.

Share gently used baby and children’s items like strollers, baby furniture or toys with other parents.

Fill your bottle with filtered tap water. Choose the greener solution by using a reusable bottle, and filling it with filtered tap water.
