    As I sit here waiting for my car's recall notice to get repaired, and looking at new vehicles, I'm considering the environment as an important factor in choice.

    We save the environment by keeping our electricity use down by turning it off from 6 a.m to 5 p.m.

    A conscious thought of safeguarding our environment is a small effort. Using reusable cups, containers, bags is a small choice that can have a measurable impact.
