Looking for a last minute valentine gift? Give a potted plant, rather than the traditional bouquet, it not only lasts for longer, but cut flowers need to be transported via chilled trucks and are often wrapped in non-recyclable cellophane, buy a locally-sourced plant instead!

School, work, laundry.. isn't that routine? Make sure you are filling your washer up all the way using cold water to be the most #energyeffcient! Your washer will use about the same amount of energy no matter the size of the load, so fill it up. 📷 energy.gov
