How to Recycle Anything

Posted on | April 18, 2010 | No Comments

Thanks to 3Rblog for this.

If you are like me and can’t remember which plastics go where, Real Simple published an easy-to- read guide about how to recycle everything.

Many of these links are national and concern specific products.

If you live in NYC, check the Don’t Throw It Away page from the Department of Sanitation.

For books, you can trade them through neighborhood book swaps or sell them for (paypal) cash at Powells. If shipping your books across the country doesn’t sit well and you live in Brooklyn, drop them off for (real) cash at PS Bookshop in DUMBO.

Energy Audits

Small measures add up, particularly in existing buildings when you are trying to save energy!

An energy audit is a holistic review and evaluation of your building - starting with calculating how much energy your building currently uses and then identifying all the ways you can save energy, water and money!

We will provide a comprehensive Strategic Plan including energy- and water-conserving strategies, with a focus on improvements to the buidlings' operations and management which will improve your building's performance and bottom line.

Whether you are calling about Commercial and Multi-Family Buildings or 1-4 Family Homes, we will help you devise and implement a plan to make your building healthier, more energy-efficient, water-wise, durable and environmentally responsible.

Call today for an appointment!
