Your Apartment in Gainesville is Going Green
Reduce, reuse, and recycle – whatever your style, there are lots of ways to turn green this season. Here are just a handful of suggestions on how to incorporate green living into your current lifestyle.
- Use washable cloth dishtowels in lieu of paper towels
- Use an egg carton as your children’s finger-painting tray
- Use reusable containers when able
- Buy items made with recycled content
- Purchase a reusable shopping bag and bring it when making small purchases
- Donate your old clothes, cell phones, or eyeglasses to local organizations
- Use power strips and shut them off when not in use
- Check out www.freestyle.org and www.throwplace.com for more information on reusing and recycling your old items
We also encourage our residents to switch their light bulbs to CFLs, which will last longer and cut energy costs for each Bellamay Grand apartment in Gainesville. If you have any green tips you would like to share with us, feel free to contact our community staff.
