D&T Joins Team Green

Inevitably, with the change in economy and the environment, the world is becoming more green. It is time that D&T becomes a part of the revolution….or in the words of Trace….an eco-lution!

However, becoming green can sometimes use up a lot of gr$$n…if you know what I mean (I should be a rapper). We don’t have the funds to buy a solar panel or a hybrid…yet. For now, we will have to start small.

We started by using a recycling bin so that it’s easier to throw away recyclable products without having to walk to the recycling bin in the backyard every time.

The next step was buying a reusable bag. This prevents having to use plastic bags every time we buy groceries. And yes, the bag carries a pretty good amount of items.

Our most recent contribution to being green is buying a Brita Water Pitcher.  One pitcher holds ten 8 oz glasses of filtered water. This will keep us from having to buy bottled water, which prevents the waste of plastic. For $25, the pitcher comes with 2 filters and a “green” water bottle.

Oh and did you know that there is now a channel called Planet Green which is solely dedicated to promoting a healthy environment? I am totally addicted to the channel!  If you have Time Warner Cable it’s on channel 216.  If not, check out their site: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/
