Energy Star Treasure Hunts
(Energy Star)


During an Energy Treasure Hunt, teams walk around a facility looking for quick ways to save energy. Those quick fixes can add up to big savings. Hundreds of organizations have used Energy Treasure Hunts to reduce their facilities' energy use by up to 15 percent. Are you and your crew ready to find the treasure buried within your facilities?

Greeting Cards During the Holidays - Go Green or Go Online 
(A Memory Tree)


Receiving greeting cards is part of our psyche. We don't send paper cards without a good reason: we seldom receive without them meaning something. They have higher emotional value than e-cards. Click here for more information, but if you're inclined to stick with traditional card buying, there's something that you can do to lesson the environmental impact:
  • Go Green - make environmentally friendly shopping choices and buy cards that are manufactured using recycled paper
  • Recycle - cards are easily re-used 
  • Only buy paper cards you actually will use
