Berlin UMC Going Green Tip 07/13/2008

Green Car Washes? Doing it at home might be cheaper and handier, but it’s nearly always better to go to the commercial car wash. By mixing air and water half and half,
car wash businesses use 60 percent less water in the entire process than
you use just rinsing off your car!
U.S. commercial car washes are also required to send their used water
off for treatment, or to take other measures that lessen the impact of
their discharge. Some of them even reuse their water.
Home washes, on the other hand, waste approximately 116 gallons of
water, which usually drains directly to storm sewers, eventually
emptying into streams, lakes, rivers, or bays, adversely affecting our
fish friends and their habitat.

Berlin UMC Going Green Tip 07/07/08

When you go out to eat at a restaurant, take a small, reusable container
with you to bring home leftovers. That way, you won’t need to use a less
eco-friendly disposable container from the restaurant.

Berlin UMC Going Green Tip 07/04/2008

This season, think about leaving grass clippings on the ground
instead of bagging them. This can save on the number of bags used to
dispose grass clippings, as well as chemical fertilizers. "The average home with four thousand square feet of lawn can reduce fertilizer requirements by 25 percent, or about 3 pounds per year, by leaving grass clippings on the lawn after mowing. It takes more than a gallon of diesel fuel to make three pounds of fertilizer." Do some Grass-cycling!!!
