3 R Friday

Welcome to 3 R Friday

A weekly series of simple tips geared toward helping you darken your shade of green. Easily.

Reduce: Reduce your coffee’s environmental impact:

• Buy organic, fair trade, shade grown coffee
• Use a reusable coffee filter
• Sprinkle spent coffee grounds around your plants, yard, or compost them
• Take a coffee mug to work so you don’t use a disposable cup
• Buy whole beans and grind them at the store
• Take a reusable coffee mug with you when buying coffee at coffee shops (i.e. Starbucks)
• Pour creamer before coffee (the coffee will mix with the creamer and you won’t need to a stirrer)
• Use organic pure sugar
• Buy recycled unbleached coffee filters and compost them after use

Reuse: Reuse Water

Place any left over ice from a cooler into hanging or potted plants and then use the melted ice to water plants.

Recycle: Recycle your jeans with From Blue to Green

Have a Great Green Weekend!
