Here are a few ways you can make a difference:
- Recycle bottles, cans, clean paper and cardboard.
- After an outdoor summer party, properly dispose of trash and pick up litter.
- Limit use of party balloons. Balloons are dangerous to animals, may get caught in electrical lines and may end up in storm drains that flow into our oceans. Use other "green" party decorations instead like flowers, paper streamers or recyclable paper decorations. For more information of how to turn your summer party green, go to http://www.evite.com/app/cms/ideas/eco-friendly.
- Bee Sensitive! Did you know that without the existence of the honeybee our balance of nature would be destroyed. Bees are an important link in our food chain, responsible for pollinating about a third of the food crops. Do your part to save our honeybees. Don’t use harmful pesticides in your yard and garden. If you need to remove a beehive from your property, call a professional! Keep the bees buzzing. To learn more about the importance of honeybees, visit www.gpnc.org/honeybee.
