Planting Seeds of Sustainability This Spring. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring is upon us! As the warm weather of spring arrives, along with it comes a renewed spirit, brighter days, and of course, spring projects. It\u2019s a time for affecting change, looking ahead, and spending more time outdoors, each of which offers an excellent opportunity to plant seeds of sustainability all around us.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve collected a few of our favorite springtime sustainability projects to share with you.<\/p>\n

Plant Flowers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring flowers simply make us smile!\u00a0 From wildly colorful landscapes to softly muted hanging baskets, spring flowers bring an element of cheer to all surroundings. Pansies, marigolds, petunias, tulips, and sunflowers; the choices, and color arrangements, are endless. However, the benefits certainly don\u2019t stop there. In addition to beautifying your surroundings, planting flowers will also help lower your carbon footprint.\u00a0 Flowering plants help replenish the oxygen supply, filter toxins and provide a food source for bees and other insects and animals. Now is the perfect time to order seed packets<\/a> or visit your local greenhouse. Let your imagination run wild!\u00a0 The environment will thank you for it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Install Rain Barrels<\/strong><\/p>\n

April showers bring May flowers. As you gear up for spring planting, consider adding rain barrels to your landscape. Rain Barrels<\/a> come in many colors, styles, and sizes to fit any garden d\u00e9cor. By collecting and reusing one of nature\u2019s most precious commodities, you will play a big role in conserving a rapidly depleting resource.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set One New Sustainability Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider setting a sustainability goal for yourself or your family this spring. One small change can have a profound impact. Here is an idea from our GreenEarth teammate Scott Steele. Scott is the Licensing Manager at GreenEarth. His sustainability goal for 2023 is to replace all of the light bulbs in his home with LED bulbs to conserve energy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Repair, Recycle, or Donate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahh yes, springtime begets spring cleaning- a time to purge closets, put away winter linens, and open windows. Spring is a wonderful time to let fresh air in and move old things out.\u00a0 When you jump into your spring projects, remember that most items in your home can be repaired, recycled, or donated. A local GreenEarth Affiliate can help by refreshing or repairing your older, favorite garments.\u00a0 For garments you no longer wish to keep, check with local civic groups or non-profit centers, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters<\/a>, for opportunities to recycle or donate clothing items.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prepare Items for Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

For items you plan to store during the summer months, it is important to make sure they are free of any body oils or dirt before putting them away. Storing items that have not been properly cleaned may lead to discoloration, attract unwanted odors and bugs, or even provide a potential breeding ground for mold and mildew. At GreenEarth, our cleaning process is silicone-based, environmentally safe, and provides a thorough clean that is gentle on fabrics. It is completely odor free and will prepare your items for a long summer\u2019s rest. Top off your spring-cleaning goals by having your winter items cleaned at a GreenEarth Dry Cleaner near you.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This spring, we invite you to join us in planting seeds of sustainability.<\/p>\n

Spring is upon us! As the warm weather of spring arrives, along with it comes a renewed spirit, brighter days, and of course, spring projects. It\u2019s a time for affecting change, looking ahead, and spending more time outdoors, each of which offers an excellent opportunity to plant seeds of sustainability all around us. We\u2019ve collected a few of our favorite springtime sustainability projects to share with you. Plant Flowers Spring flowers simply make us smile!\u00a0 From wildly colorful landscapes to softly muted hanging baskets, spring flowers bring an element of cheer to all surroundings. Pansies, marigolds, petunias, tulips, and sunflowers; the choices, and color arrangements, are endless. However, the benefits certainly don\u2019t stop there. In addition to beautifying your surroundings, planting flowers will also help lower your carbon footprint.\u00a0 Flowering plants help replenish the oxygen supply, filter toxins and provide a food source for bees and other insects and animals. Now is the perfect time to order seed packets or visit your local greenhouse. Let your imagination run wild!\u00a0 The environment will thank you for it.   Install Rain Barrels April showers bring May flowers. As you gear up for spring planting, consider adding rain barrels to your landscape. Rain Barrels come in many colors, styles, and sizes to fit any garden d\u00e9cor. By collecting and reusing one of nature\u2019s most precious commodities, you will play a big role in conserving a rapidly depleting resource. \u00a0 Set One New Sustainability Goal Consider setting a sustainability goal for yourself or your family this spring. One small change can have a profound impact. Here is an idea from our GreenEarth teammate Scott Steele. Scott is the Licensing Manager at GreenEarth. His sustainability goal for 2023 is to replace all of the light bulbs in his home with LED bulbs to conserve energy.   Repair, Recycle, or Donate Ahh yes, springtime begets spring cleaning- a time to purge closets, put away winter linens, and open windows. Spring is a wonderful time to let fresh air in and move old things out.\u00a0 When you jump into your spring projects, remember that most items in your home can be repaired, recycled, or donated. A local GreenEarth Affiliate can help by refreshing or repairing your older, favorite garments.\u00a0 For garments you no longer wish to keep, check with local civic groups or non-profit centers, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, for opportunities to recycle or donate clothing items.   Prepare Items for Storage For items you plan to store during the summer months, it is important to make sure they are free of any body oils or dirt before putting them away. Storing items that have not been properly cleaned may lead to discoloration, attract unwanted odors and bugs, or even provide a potential breeding ground for mold and mildew. At GreenEarth, our cleaning process is silicone-based, environmentally safe, and provides a thorough clean that is gentle on fabrics. It is completely odor free and will prepare your items for a long summer\u2019s rest.
