St. Patrick's Green-o-Meter Off to a Good Start

A follow-up, about 15 hours later, at the close of St. Patrick's Day: how? How could they resist? Maybe everybody blew all their "green" jokes on St. Patrick's Day last year? I'm so...is it disappointed or proud? Hard to say.

Let's have some fun. How many "Go Green for St. Patrick's Day" list-serv messages do you think I'll receive today? Me, I'm guessin'...5, without even looking outside of my Inbox. Ready? Ticker starts NOW.

1. National Wildlife Federation

You don’t need four-leaf clovers to go green this St. Patrick’s Day. Just follow these easy steps and you’ll be reducing your impact on mother nature in no time.

1. Fix that drip. Water dripping from a
leaky faucet can waste up to 5,000
gallons of water a year. And, a leaky
toilet can waste a whopping 25,000
gallons a year.
2. Keep your tires properly inflated to
save the planet…and about 12 cents a
gallon!
3. Install a programmable thermostat.
Adjust the temperature for maximum
energy savings when you aren't home.

These are just a few of many tips that can help you save money and reduce your carbon footprint this spring.

And, if you’d like to know how your daily actions can add up to make a real impact on our environment, become a Good Neighbor today. When we all combine our small actions together, we make huge strides for the planet and those who will inherit it.

Plus, with a $15 donation, you’ll receive our popular Good Neighbor benefits package (see sidebar). So, let's get started!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
