DAISES DAISES EVERYWHERE

 

I work in a closed environment where we don’t have the luxury of fresh air coming in.  While talking with my co-workers we all had complaints about headaches, scratchy throats, and itchy skin and so I started to do some research.  I think this was totally relevant to ways we can make a healthier work environment with just a few added touches that are not only beneficial to us, they look great.  So here ya go……………………….

 

Improve your work environment and maybe even your performance with some plants in the office. Did you know that many plants – such as Gerber daisies, philodendrons, and peace lilies – absorb airborne pollutants? Plants also release moisture into the air, absorb heat and noise, and absorb and break down harmful substances. Each different plant has an affinity for different pollutants, so place more than one in the office and feel better about yourself and your work. As a rule of green thumb, try placing two or three plants in 8-inch or 10-inch pots for every 100 square feet of floor space.

 

FRESH AND HEALTHY

 



Want fresh and healthy, chemical free vegetables?  Get outside, plant a garden, grown it, pick it, eat it.  Share with family and friends.  Don't rely on supermarkets to supply you with natures best, do it yourself.  Saves you money and gas and the benefits of eating what you grow are outstanding.  So what are you waiting for.... let's get started with garden that will reward you all summer long.

This is Farmer John and he needs our help!

 

Good ol’ Farmer John has worked his land to help produce some of the finest quality of foods but he is sad.  He needs our help to make the sun shine once again upon him.  He is worried about of ecosystems and tries he best to understand why when you go to the market, you buy something that is flown in half way around the world causing greenhouse gasses to be emitted along each route it is taken.  Why not just pick some fresh fruit or vegetables that are grown right in the good ol’ USA or better yet, right in your own state.  His fruits and vegetables are just as fresh and healthy and you are helping him and our planet out.  So next time you reach for produce, think about where it’s coming from.  Don’t know, ask the produce manager and keep it within our own backyards.

Julia “Butterfly” Hill Didn’t Live Atop a Tree for Nothing.

                                              

While Julia was staking her claim, employees were aiding in the destruction.  10,000 sheets of paper per year per employee are used from contracts, emails, memos, documents, the list goes on and one.  Recycle it!  Don’t print it in the first place!  View it and electronically file it!  Whatever it takes cut back on the paper usage, our trees are suffering enough, we need to make Julia proud and support our environment.  Stand tall just like our trees and put your foot down, do your part to help reduce the amount of waste we currently have.

Trashy the Trash Can Serves His Purposes But……………………

Dispose of items properly.  Did you know that something as small as an ink cartridge can take 450 years to decompose?  I had no idea how many times I have tossed that little cartridge into the trash and never gave it a second thought about how long it will remain on the planet.  Look for a recycling place to drop your cartridges off next time you run out of ink.
