Be Green In Your Apartment

- Try using small towels or rags in your kitchen instead of excessive paper towels!
- When you unplug your laptop or cell phone from its charger, make sure you unplug the charger from the wall as well!
- Try using organic cleaning supplies, you can make your own or purchase some from different organic companies!
- Always turn off the lights when you leave for the day, something we all now to do, but often forget a closet or bathroom light!
- Switch to energy efficient light bulbs like CFLs (compact fluorescent lightbulbs)
