put a dry towel in the dryer.

today we will put a dry towel in the dryer. WHY A dry towel soaks up moisture in the dryer. This speeds up the drying process, which reduces energy used. We will reduce dryer energy use by putting in a dry towel. HOW When we use the dryer to dry wet clothes, put in a dry towel too. Take it out after 15-20 minutes*. Let it hang-dry and be the designated drier towel. *After 15-20 minutes the towel itself will be moist. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?

get it on the way before online.

today we will get it on the way, before online. WHY Many shop online and still run errands or make trips in vehicles. This means our cars + delivery trucks on the road = more traffic=more idling=more emissions. HOW Before buying something online, think about where we're going over the next couple of days. If we will pass a place that sells that thing, then wait and get it there. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?

choose plants over stems.

Plus, upon request, more info on the farmer's market tip.

today we will choose plants over stems. WHY Unlike plants, loose stems don't last long after purchase. In landfills they breakdown, releasing methane. We will reduce methane emissions by choosing plants. HOW If we want to buy ourselves or someone else flowers, choose a nice planted option instead of loose flower or plant stems. Then, keep it alive. A few requests for more info on why going to farmer's markets later could help reduce food waste. Our Answer: The tip rests in the idea that people tend to buy the most "attractive" produce first, leaving "ugly" produce behind, which continues to be left behind until it goes bad and gets tossed. The hope is that, by going later, we can more easily identify produce at risk of being left behind because no one wanted it all day, and buy the produce that might have otherwise been tossed and not saves for later sale. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?
