Today is Earth Day

Earth Day is here....Go Green!
Some tips on going green offered by the Francis Scott Key Family Resort!

1) Use organic cleaning products such as non-toxic vinegar and baking soda. These can clean almost everything in the house
2) Consider a gas-electric hybrid when thinking about your next vehicle purchase. These vehicles combine gas engines with electric motors. By getting more mileage per gallon, you’ll save gasoline and money!
3) Only water your lawn once a week. Landscape your yard with attractive drought-tolerant plants and use mulch to help retain soil moisture. Make sure that sprinklers are watering only the landscaping, not the driveway, sidewalk, or street.
4) Use the right size pot or pan on the stove for the item you’re cooking. Don't preheat your oven except for baking, and cover pots and pans when cooking. Set the refrigerator's temperature to somewhere between 36° and 39° F, and the freezer to somewhere between 0° and 5° F. Make sure to clean the refrigerator coils and switch the refrigerator to its power-miser setting.
5) Avoid using plastic utensils, styrofoam cups, tropical hardwoods, and toys made with pvc plastic within your home!

Hopefully this tips will better serve your efforts of going green!
