Here are a couple Green Tips I got from Member Mission.
#1Stop junk mail before it gets to your mailbox. Each year the average US household receives about 1-112 trees’ worth of junk mail. Register with the Mail Preference Service to reduce the amount of junk mail that you get.
Cost: $1.00
Where to register: www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailinglist
#2 Buy locally-produced food to reduce the amount of energy used for transportation. Most items in our supermarkets have traveled an average of 1,000 miles. Fresh local food can be found almost every day in Austin. Support local business.
