Reusable Coffee Mug:
Take all the people who listen to 92.9 The Big Cheese, then persuade them to sip their morning coffee from a travel mug for one week.(Hmmm--Maybe a mug from Bridgestop with the Big Cheese logo on it? We're just saying..) Result: Enough trees to fill two football fields will be spared the ax. Can't commit to a week? Switching to reusable cups for just one day will save as much energy as using 1,000 gallons of gasoline.”One thousand gallons of gasoline, here in Wisconsin, would cost approximately $2,100 – and that’s just one day
Trash to treasures:
Put soda bottles in your toilet tank. Even without leaks, most toilets waste hundreds of gallons of water a year. If you put some rocks or sand in a couple of empty soda bottles, fill them with water, and then place them in your tank, you prevent the tank from filling up as much. As long as there are three gallons in the tank, your toilet should flush fine. You can save 10 gallons of water or more each and every day this way! That's 300 gallons of water a month!
