Pack a Green Picnic

Think Green Transportation

Enjoy the beauty of your surroundings by taking a morning walk or bike ride to where you’re going. If you need to travel a long distance, schedule a carpool with friends or associates.

Also, to save on energy & energy costs, set your AC to the warmest temperature that feels comfortable. Constantly turning your AC up and down can be an energy waster.
