ReplyMy colleagues tease me for using both sides of paper but now they bring me paper that has been printed on one side so I always have a supply. They told me that I should date the new ream of paper just to see how long it takes for me to get a new one!

ReplyWith my Prius, I now fill up once every week and a half instead of once a week. I'm averaging 50+ mpg during my weekly commute of 350+/- miles. At current gas prices, I'm saving approximately $100 per month. Nora Vomero

ReplyBoroGreen needs suggestions for what can be reused to fill draft dodgers. We thought of dried beans, sawdust, sand, old t-shirts, and mismatched socks. Could use some more good ideas! To find out more about NJLearns: http://cloudinstitute.org/new-jersey-learns/

ReplyYou can also learn about the NJLearns program at Duke Farms. Six Hillsborough residents have already participated and we encourage others to attend. You will be inspired to work on sustainable projects based on your own personal interests and make our corner of the world a better place to live.

ReplyI start off my summers by getting a root beer float with raspberry ice cream at Super Sundaes. Yummy and they recycle their styrofoam containers to boot! It's a good feeling to walk into a store where you know the owners are actively involved in our community.

ReplyTerracycle was one of the speakers at the regional conference at Duke Farms on sharing sustainable practices and Mr. Zavacki was on the panel for recycling. There were many good connections that were made and BoroGreen is so proud and supportive of Mr. Zavacki's impact on his students. He has empowered them to think differently about things that other people don't see value in. This will help our next generation solve critical problems about waste, reuse/repurposing of materials, and how to evaluate the true cost of products. Thanks for being an inspiring teacher!
