Botanical Garden's Top Ten Resolutions
Compost your leaves and food waste. Use this black gold instead of pesticides to fertilize your garden. To find out how, contact the QBG compost department at 718-539-LAWN, or go to www.queensbotanical.org
Install photovoltaic panels (solar panels) on your roof to harvest energy straight from the sun, ans save on your electronic bill. Find out how at www.powernaturally.org
Buy a Hybrid car, these cars produce less carbon dioxide because they run in a combination of gas and electric energy. It is important to be aware of the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere as it contributes to global warming.
Save precious resources in your home by sweating the small stuff. Turn off the fauset while brushing your teeth, cover pots when boiling water, and turn lights off in unused rooms. Not only is it responsible, it may save you money.
Switch to renewable energy source, like wind or solar powered electricity. If 10% of New Yorkers choose a green energy source, nearly 3 billons pounds of carbon dioxide would be eliminated (New York State Public Service Commission). To find out how to switch providers go to www.askpsc.com
Use environmentally friendly cleaning products. Soaps and cleansers linger in clothes and living spaces and can irritate skin and cause an allergic reaction in some people. When soaps are disposed of through the sewer system they can also cause damage to our environment.
Adopt or plan a tree in your community. By planting trees you take carbon dioxide out of the air as trees use ti ti survive. Contact QBG to learn about the Garden's adopt-a-tree program.
Buy locally grown organic produce. When fruit and viegetables have a chance to ripen before being harvested they retain nutrients naturally and are healthier for you. Locally grown produce are better for the environment because fuel has not been expended, transporting the products across great distances.
Buy Energy Star products, Energy Star computers use 70% less electricity than other computers. Check out www.getenergysmart.org for more tips.
Carpool or use public transportation at least once a week. Take the IRT #7 subway or Q20 or Q44 bus to the Queens Botanical Garden, a green oasis in the middle of Queens.
