Did you know that following Annabelle's advice about recycling can actually save you and your neighbors money by helping out your local economy? When you recycle, you reduce the amount of trash you send to the local landfill. This means savings for your town by decreasing disposal costs. Not only that, your town earns money by selling recyclable materials. There's also a local economic advantage to using cheaper recycled materials in manufacturing rather than springing for more expensive virgin materials.
But of course there are many other ways to be a good neighbor than boosting your local economy through recycling. Another key action we can each take to help our neighbors and the environment is to reduce our own energy emissions or pollution. With this in mind, National Wildlife Federation just introduced a sweet new program to show you how easy it is to do your part to conserve energy in and around your own home. (It saves you money, too!)
Check out the Good Neighbor-hood. The program recognizes the actions you may already be doing to reduce global warming pollution, and it suggests more steps to keep you on the energy-saving path. Plus for every action, you'll see how much money you'll save, just like the families on Wa$ted. When you rack up a certain number of points based on these actions, you qualify to become an official "Good Neighbor." What does that mean? It means some nifty perks.
By taking the pledge, you are agreeing to take steps to reduce your impact. Once you complete the pledge, National Wildlife Federation will reward you with our exclusive Good Neighbor Pledge Kit.
For just $15, here are the benefits you'll get:
- A handy, reusable water bottle to replace disposables and help reduce waste.
- Light switch reminder stickers so you won't forget to turn off the lights.
- A personalized Good Neighbor certificate that recognizes your commitment to reduce carbon emissions, and a Good Neighbor window decal that tells everyone you're doing your part to be good to our planet.
- Membership to National Wildlife Federation, including a subscription to our award-winning National Wildlife Magazine®.
Just take some simple actions in your home, such as switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs, adjusting your thermostat, running the dishwasher only when full, and of course recycling, and you'll become part of the solution.
