Earth-friendly coffee break

Tips to a greener cup

Whether you prefer it black, sweetened, or flavored with fancy creamers, it’s easy to green your coffee routine, according to Earthshare.org. Use a French press instead of an electric coffeemaker to save on water and energy. When shopping, look for Rainforest Alliance certified coffee grown under sustainable conditions. And after brewing, keep the grounds handy for scrubbing grease off pots, fertilizing plants or absorbing odors in the refrigerator.

Green your cooking

Cut cooking time to save energy

Easy changes to the way you cook your meals can reduce energy use and your carbon footprint. When cooking with your stove or cooktop, try turning them off several minutes before the end of cooking time to save energy. According to Sierraclub.com, both the oven and stove top retain heat well, so it's a great way to save energy without compromising the quality of your meals.
