Earth Day is April 22
Posted Date:4/8/2011
Earth Day provides an opportunity to remember that our everyday
choices affect the community, environment and planet. Whether it is
choosing to recycle, take public transportation or turn off a light to
conserve energy, everything we do matters and every little bit helps.

RecycleShoreline’s solid waste provider, CleanScapes, provides the
City with curbside recycling and yard waste service. Ensuring that your
recyclable materials, garbage and yard waste are properly sorted is
important to ensure recyclables are not contaminated. In addition to
curbside recycling, it is important to properly dispose of electronics,
medications and toxic substances. Improper disposal of these items can cause
harmful substances to leach into our ground water affecting our water
quality and marine
ecosystems in the Puget Sound.

ConserveOur homes can be big consumers of energy. Luckily there are a
number of simple things that can be done to help conserve energy. Using
energy efficient light bulbs and appliances, unplugging computers and other
electronics when not in use and turning off lights are just some of the small
things you can do to conserve energy.

Homes also lose a lot of energy through windows, doors and walls that are
not adequately insulated.SustainableWorks is currently conducting reduced
cost energy audits for Shoreline residents. A good energy audit will help you
find ways to save energy and money over time.
