Save on Gas

Non-rechargeable (typically “alkaline batteries”) still don’t have a recycler and general just must be disposed in the trash. If you have large quantities or are a business, talk with your permitted sanitary landfill operator (otherwise known as “sanitation services”, the “dump” or “landfill”). Waste batteries should not be burned because of the metals, and they could explode. When burned, some heavy metals such as mercury may vaporize and escape into the air, and cadmium and lead may end up in the ash.

Every gallon of gasoline you burn produces 19 pounds of carbon dioxide, so it pays to conserve (in more ways than one). Your car will work more efficiently if you obey the speed limit and avoid rapid, unnecessary acceleration. Keep your tires properly inflated and get regular tune-ups. Forget warming up under most conditions.

Recycling used RECHARGEABLE household batteries is now possible!

- www.thedailygreen.com

The battery manufacturers have funded a joint recycling center. To find a center near you that will take them, just type this address (http://www.ehso.com/ehso2. php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rbrc.org/call2recycle/drop off/index.php) in your browser window. Once the site comes up there will be an area for you to enter your zip code. It will produce a list of all local businesses that participate. Rechargeable batteries are commonly found in cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, two-way radios, camcorders and remote control toys. http://www.ehso.com/ehshome/batteries.php

With so many different labels found on products today how do you really know what the claim means? We looked into what some of the most used labels really mean on ww.wikipedia.org and here’s what we found.

Free range is a method of farming husbandry where the animals are allowed to roam freely instead of being contained in any manner. The principle is to allow the animals as much freedom as possible, to live out their instinctual behaviors in a reasonably natural way, regardless of whether or not they are eventually slaughtered for meat. In practice, there are few regulations imposed on what can be called “free range,” and the term may be used misleadingly to imply that the animal product has been produced more humanely than it actually has been.

Organic foods are produced according to certain pro-

Natural foods are foods that are minimally processed. Natural foods do not include ingredients such as refined sugars, refined flours, milled grains, hydrogenated oils, sweeteners, food colors, or flavorings.

Fairtrade certification (Fairtrade or Fair Trade Certified in the US) is a product certification system designed to allow people to identify products that meet agreed environmental, labour and developmental standards. Overseen by a standard-setting body, FLO International, and a certification body, FLO-CERT, the system involves independent auditing of producers to ensure the agreed standards are met. Companies offering products that meet the Fairtrade standards may apply for licences to use the Fairtrade Certification Mark for those products. The FLO International Fairtrade certification system covers a growing range of products, including bananas, honey, oranges, cocoa, coffee, cotton, dried and fresh fruits and vegetables, juices, nuts and oil seeds, quinoa, rice, spices, sugar, tea and wine.

Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an independent non-profit organization that has established a global environmental standard for sustainable and wellmanaged fisheries. The MSC program is voluntary and fisheries that are assessed and meet the standard can use the MSC blue ecolabel. The MSC mission is to promote ‘the best environmental choice in seafood’. The MSC seeks to harness consumer preference for products from sustainable fisheries by use of its ecolabel. When fish is bought that has the blue MSC ecolabel, it should indicate that this fishery operates in an environmentally responsible way and does not contribute to the global environmental problem of overfishing.

Easy y Wa ays to Save Som me Green - Green Living Sk killss There are plenty of simple ways to go green at home. Many of these options can save you two kinds of green; eco-green and a little cash. Some ideas‌

Tiless are e an n excellent home applicattion n because they can be ussed for so many th hings - back splashes in bath hrooms or kitchens, coun nters, you can tile a who ole darrn wall, surface a swim mming g pool, use glass tilless in mo osaics in the garden or on a fountain, used to o highlig ght an outside walkkway, and more. Tiles are also eaasy to clean and lo ook great. Yo Y u can get tilles th hat a add a pop of color or tiles th ti that at brighten h a room.

Love on some ladybugs: Ladybugs rock; and not just because they’re so darn adorable. Just one little ladybug in your garden will eat loads of pesky aphids; (about 5,000 per year). This greatly reduces the amount of pest-fighting chemicals you need in your garden. Turn off the shower water while you shampoo: This one small step can save you up to 50 gallons of water per year. Eat at least five organic meals a week: According to various sources, if all the people in North America ate organic all the time we could reduce our annual pesticide use by about 10 million+ pounds. Holy right!? Even if you’re not going totally organic, you can reduce quite a lot of pesticide use in the U.S. by eating organic most of the time. Learn to read labels so you can make smarter organic choices. Recycle and reuse: Learn to make your own paper, switch to cloth napkins, organize your recycling, or simply learn how to recycle in your own community. You don’t have to do it all, but you should be doing at least some recycling in your home and using some non-disposable items.

Weathering your Windows

Custom Fabrication & Installation of Natural Stone

Apply window film

Hang shades and blinds

Install awnings on windows

Sun-control or other reflective films applied on south-facing windows can reduce up to 99 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays and up to 79 percent of the solar heat coming through a window. The films may also help reduce fading of interior furnishings from exposure to sunlight. Some types of window film can be applied by do-it-yourselfers, while others require professional application. The product may also qualify for a tax credit; the Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides federal tax breaks for homeowners who make certain energyefficient improvements, including some window film applications.

Direct sunlight can raise the temperature of a room by 10 to 20 degrees. Install white or light-colored window

While awnings or shade sails are often seen on the exterior of homes in Europe, they haven’t caught on in a big way yet in the United States. According to a study conducted by the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota, awnings can provide significant savings on cooling costs by reducing solar gain through home windows. The awnings provide the most significant savings on east-, southand west-facing windows. For more great ways to weather your windows and the rest of your home visit: http://life.gaiam.com/

shades, drapes or blinds to shade rooms from the sun and reflect heat away from the windows. Close curtains on south- and west-facing windows during the day to keep the house cooler.

I want a Solar System! What is solar thermal energy? Solar thermal technologies use sunlight to provide heat for domestic hot water, space heating, and heating swimming pools. These systems are generally divided into passive designs, which allow heat from the sun to be absorbed and stored by building components (like concrete or stone surfaces) and active systems, which use collector panels and mechanical components to provide thermal energy to a building. Solar thermal systems are meant to supplement a building’s primary hot water and space heating systems; usually they are not intended to replace them.

Is solar thermal energy effective in Minnesota? Solar energy is plentiful in Minnesota, having as much solar energy annually as most of the U.S. For example, a typical solar water heating system in Minnesota can provide 50 to 75% of total energy required for hot water. Space heating requires a larger system, but is effective in significantly reducing a building’s need for other energy resources like natural gas, fuel oil, or propane.

For more information To learn more about solar energy options, check out: National Renewable Energy Laboratory www.nrel.gov, Department of Energy www.eere.doe.gov, Minnesota Department of Commerce, www.commerce.state.mn.us

What are the benefits of solar thermal energy?

Solar Energy

Solar thermal energy is a renewable or sustainable energy source, and can be a cost effective and reliable way to provide heat for buildings. Adding passive solar into building design and remodeling will make your building more sustainable. In addition, solar thermal is a strategy for addressing climate change, diversifying our energy supply, increasing Minnesota’s energy independence, and boosting the state’s economy.

How much do solar thermal systems cost? Solar hot water is the most cost effective solar technology available. Since sunlight is free, once the equipment is purchased, there is only maintenance, which is minimal. The installed cost of a solar hot water system is approximately $6,000–10,000 for a typical residential installation (before incentives). For a residential system that employs both water and space heating, the range is $18,000 - $25,000.

Switch to tap! There’s very little evidence that bottled water is any safer, as tap water must meet stricter federal and local standards for chemical contaminants. Furthermore, drinking tap water helps eliminate the waste associated with single-use plastic bottles, only 10 percent of which are recycled each year. If you’re concerned about water quality, buy a reusable bottle, and invest in a tap-water filters that eliminate lead, which can leach into water from decaying pipes, and chlorine, often added to sanitize water and eliminate bacteria. Filters generate less waste than bottles. - www.thegreenguide.com
