Use Rechargeable Batteries
Teach your children how to recharge batteries for their toys. This helps not only to reduce garbage, but also keeps toxic metals such as mercury (found in some batteries) from getting into the environment. Another alternative is to buy batteries with reduced toxic metals.

- CFL bulbs use 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer
- Save $30+ in electricity costs over each bulb’s lifetime
- Produce 75 percent less heat
Do you know of an environmentally friendly website?
