Are you a DIY'er missing the right tools? Many libraries now lend everything from hand tools, to kitchen appliances to telescopes. Next time you find yourself needing the right tool for the job, try your library card instead of your credit card. buff.ly/FcFdCG0

Wasted food that ends up in landfills contributes to climate change problems because of how it breaks down. Rather than throw away food you can compost it or even better yet make sure it's eaten!

One simple way to reduce single use plastic is to refuse plastic straws. Carrying your own reusable straw is a great work around. #PlasticFreeJuly #SayNoToSingleUsePlastic

Don't forget to recycle the packaging from your orders. Break down boxes and keep them dry for curbside pickup. Recycle plastic mailers by returning them to collection bins at retailers or grocery stores.
