Let's Go Green - save tax dollars, save the environment! 
We can start by setting small goals, accomplish them, and then set more goals. Three suggestions to work on: 1) don't let water run while brushing your teeth, 2) use lids on pots when cooking on the stove to help food cook faster, 3) set thermometers 78 degrees F in the summer and 68 degrees F in the winter.
