Outreach Programs
Going Green: Steps you can take to help!
Rein in Energy Use - turn off lights, televisions, and other media when not in use
Think Green outside - keep pesticides and herbicides from local waterways to prevent harm to local wildlife and to not pollute our groundwater - how?
- cut grass longer, leave clippings on lawn as natural fertilizer or use organic compost
Recycle - According to Oberlin College research, if each of us were to recycle just 1 out of 10 plastic bottles, we'd keep 200 million pounds of plactic out of our landfills!
Buy Local Foods - buy locally grown foods such as fruits and vegetables
- supporting your local market help reduce both fuel consumption and greenhouse gas pollution!
- Challenge yourself to find local dairy products, meat, and more!
