Switch to CFL Light Bulbs
Save Energy and Lower Your Electric Bill
 Consider switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). You’ll lower your electric bill and pay less in the long run since CFLs last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs. To save even more on lighting, install dimmer switches and use timers, both indoors and out. You’ll find a complete selection of CFL bulbs, dimmer switches and timers at your local True Value.

Fertilize the All-Natural Way
Preserve the Earth Without Using Chemicals
 Plants that are chemically fertilized may look lush, but this type of fertilizing promotes plants that are more susceptible to disease. Chemicals from the fertilizer infuse the soil and, ultimately, contaminate our water supply. Using an all-natural fertilizer balances the pH of the soil, is environmentally safe and not harmful to animals, plants or you. |
Switch to Low-Flow Showerheads
Conserve Water While Lowering Your Water Bill
Install water efficient showerheads. With the new low-flow models now available, a family of four can cut water usage by as much as 280 gallons a month—and yet not feel much difference in water pressure. |

Breathe Easier with Low-VOC Paint
What Goes on Your Walls Stays on Your Walls
 According to the EPA, indoor air is considered to be one of the top five hazards to human health. Traditional household paint contains toxins that can still be released into the air years after application. Use low-VOC products for better indoor air quality. |
