Winter’s here, and energy savings are just a few simple steps away! 🔌 Unplug chargers, adapters, and small appliances to avoid phantom energy. ☀️ Let the sun warm your space during the day and close drapes at night to keep drafts out.

Chip bags are flexible plastics, which belong in the landfill. If you don't know if an item like a chip bag is recyclable, crush up the bag, and if it returns to its original shape, it doesn't belong in the recycling. For more recycling information, visit the link in our bio!
