Summer Days

Hello All,
It's been a busy month of August, so my blog entries have been few and far between. My priority this month, I will admit have been my kids and also enjoying some the beautiful weather Mother Nature has brought our way here in the beautiful Garden State. My kids are just getting their last Hurrahs of summer. We've been trying to squeeze in things to do everyday before the first day of school on Sept. 3rd.

I have also been catching up on my reading. My schedule goes back to norm (somewhat) with my girls in school so, I will be able to post more interesting topics on how to be Green, happenings in NJ and of course, my passion and profession "Real Estate in NJ".

NJ has been suffering with the economy lately, slow real estate sales, high taxes, energy costs rising and yes we can blame the government and others for that but taking some initiative ourselves is crucial to bringing down costs, developing some good habits and making this world a better place.

I thought I would start with water. Please read below some tips on water consumption. I hope this offers you some ideas that you could use in your daily lives. Have a Happy and Safe Labor Day weekend.........

Every drop matters when it comes to water. Here are five things you can do to save water in the kitchen and laundry:

1. Use your dishwasher only for full loads.

2. Use your automatic clothes washing machine only for full loads.

3. If you wash dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing. If you have two sinks, fill one with soapy water and one with rinse water.

4. Don't leave the faucet on while you clean vegetables. Just rinse them in a stoppered sink or a pan of clean water.

5. Check the faucets and pipes for leaks. Leaks waste water 24 hours a day, seven days a week and often can be repaired with just an inexpensive washer.

Let's all make this world a better place.
