The Eco Tour on WTMD


(c) Toshiba

with Andrew Lovett

 

Every Wednesday on the WTMD Morning Show

 
Mission: To provide the listening community with eco-friendly ways to travel to summer concerts and festivals
 
Green Tip of the Week #10:
You can recycle without a recycling bin…Cut up sheets of used printer paper and use the back to write your notes…Use a plastic grocery bag more than once, use it as a lunchbag, a trashbag for the car or small trashcan.

Think of other items you use only once and try to find ways to use them again, don’t throw out that old printer or television…donate it.
