 Be Green and Cool This Summer
Run ceiling fans in a clockwise direction to create a wind-chill effect that will make you “feel” 8-10 degrees cooler. Remember that ceiling fans cool people, not rooms — so turn them off when you leave the room.
 Set your AC at 75 (or even 78) degrees. You can reduce your summer cooling costs by about 4% for every degree warmer you set the thermostat, according to Lee Schipper of UC Berkley
 Cover Your Windows. Drawing your shades or investing in items like a shade screen can keep your room up to 12 degrees cooler in the summer.
Thinking of a new roof? Look into an Energy Star rated roof. These roofs will reflect more of the sun's rays keeping your whole house cooler. The less heat that gets in the less you (or your AC) has to work to keep it cool! For extra credit, look into putting a green roof on your home. It helps keep the heat away as well as helping to mitigate storm water runoff

 Thanks for the Denim!
We were able to collect over 300 pair of jeans during our denim recycling drive. These jeans will be made into cotton insulation that will be used to insulate homes that have been damaged by hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Your jeans will keep clothes out of landfills and build houses for families to live in! Thank you so much for making our denim recycling drive a success! Stay tuned for future recycling events.
