WATER CONSERVATION - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
	Water is a vital resource to our planet and the living things that inhabit it. With booming populations and ongoing drought conditions, our water resources are becoming taxed. Protecting and preserving the nation’s water supply is critical to our economy, environment, and human health. You can help outside on lawns and gardens by using sprinkler timers and rain barrels. » More about Water Conservation

	Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) consume up to 75% less energy and they last up to 10 times longer then incandescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs operate at 350°F in order to produce light while CFLs operate at 90°F to produce light. The lower operating temperature of CFLs mean they are much more efficient then incandescent bulbs. » More about Energy Efficiency

	Trees affect our environment in many ways, including the amount of rainfall we receive as well as the quality of the water we drink and the air we breathe. Since trees naturally absorb Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions, trees naturally help clean the air. » More about Sustainable Forestry
