- Sustainable Holiday Celebration!
'Tis the season to be green
Monday, November 30 at 5:30pm
Causes
Keep the Midlands Beautiful Pay Your Bills Online: Eliminating your paper trail by banking and paying bills online saves trees and helps reduce fuel consumption by the trucks and planes that transport paper checks. If every U.S. home viewed and paid its bills online, the switch would cut solid waste by 1.6 billion tons a year and curb greenhouse-gas emissions by 2.1 million tons a year.

Keep the Midlands Beautiful Thanks to everyone for making the Rain Barrel and Compost Bin sale a success!
Keep the Midlands Beautiful Having 1,000 residents in your community actively composting would divert 600,000 lbs of organic waste from going to local landfills per year! And did you know that one inch of rain falling on a 1,000 sq. ft. roof harvests up to 600 gallons of rainwater for use on your lawns and gardens without turning on a tap? Compost Bin and Rain Barrel Sale is tomorrow! See you there.

Keep the Midlands Beautiful A Bright Idea: If every home in America changed just one incandescent bulb to a CFL, we’d save enough energy to light seven million homes and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to that of one million cars.

At last week’s SAGE meeting, group members signed up to spend part of their tailgating time distributing and collecting recycling bags at the Oct. 3 football game.
Keep the Midlands Beautiful Say no thanks to plastic bags and bring your own reusable ones when you shop. Americans go through 380 billion plastic bags a year, and while most go to the landfill, nearly 100 million are let loose in the wild, becoming litter and waterway hazards.
Keep the Midlands Beautiful Think Global, Drink Local: Even though we have some of the best and safest tap water in the world, Americans buy 28 billion+ bottles of water a year. Manufacturing these bottles uses 50 million barrels of oil and produces up to three tons of CO2 a year. Drink tap water from a reusable bottle – you’ll save money and help protect the environment.
