Conservation tips from Bright Spots – Your Quarterly Newsletter from ING DIRECT
Cut junk mail = cut 100 million fewer trees a year - For a $20 one-time fee, Green Dimes will send you a junk-mail opt-out kit that will remove your name from mailing lists for junk mail and catalogs.
Turn off the tap while you brush - Conserve up to 5 gallons of water a day.
Think before you print - Print the part or just a selection of the document you need and save paper and printer ink.
Catch up on the news online - You’ll save the paper it’s printed on, plus many online subscriptions are free or much less expensive than printed publications.
Get re-corded - A new phone with a cord draws no power for charging, which would save 140 million kilowatt hours annually if 5 percent of U.S. households exchanged at least one cordless phone for one with a cord.
Send e-greetings - Yes, they’re fun. No, they’re not too impersonal. And they save paper, trips to the card store and the gas it takes for the post office to deliver them.
