Save paper, save trees, save the planet

Just a reminder to
Mark your calendars for two upcoming GROUP EVENTS

'Brown Bag Lunch and Movie Day' is back by popular demand on April 14th and 15th from Noon to 1 o'clock in the Alder Room


We will watch Wall-E: An Adventure Beyond the Ordinar-E! In the distant future, a small waste collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind. After 700 years of doing what he was built for - he'll discover what he's meant for.

And now for today's eco-friendly tip:
Tip # 6:  Think before you buy.

o Go online to find new or gently used secondhand products. Whether you've just moved or are looking to redecorate, consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track down furniture, appliances, and other items cheaply or for free.

o Check out garage sales, thrift stores, and consignment shops for clothing and other everyday items.

o When making purchases, make sure you know what's "Good Stuff" and what isn't.  http://www.worldwatch.org/taxonomy/term/44

o Watch a video about what happens when you buy things.  Your purchases have a real impact, for better or worse.   http://faircompanies.com/
