[Going Green] New Green Items
So many people know that I am going green. For a while now I have been very good with shutting off the lights and keeping the door closed when the A/C is on. Now I have two new green items that will help a little bit more. First is the metal water bottle, I can keep refiling this instead of buying plastic water bottles. I got it at school last year so its not that new but I am starting to use it more. The second item is the Tim Hortons Coffee Mug, I picked this up last night when I realized that I always go to Timmies after work. That’s a lot of cups that just get thrown out and Tim Hortons gives you $0.10 off whenever you use it. Odd enough not only are both items green but also the colour green. Cool! The total cost for these items is around $10, but that is a huge savings in about a month or two. Go out and get similar items and save some green in then end.
