8.) Green Tip: Santa will thank you for saving energy this holiday season
Santa’s North Pole is melting, but you can help by taking a few simple steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When you leave for the holidays: turn thermostats down to 55, close windows tight, and unplug chargers, printers and non-essential equipment. Get in the habit by switching everything off on a powerstrip. Always shut off computers and lights when vacating a room. Make a New Year’s resolution to carpool, bus or bike more and to trade that space heater for a sweater. Santa thanks you.
