Tip of the MonthTake a quick look at your water bill to ensure it accurately reflects your household's water usage. If you've reduced irrigation but still see unexpected spikes, check out AquaHawk at EnviroWoodland.org/MyWaterUse to identify potential leaks.

A Greener Holiday Season!Americans throw away 25% more waste during the Holidays than any other time of the year! To combat excess waste, we have more Zero Waste Holiday Tips! - Consider gifting experiences rather than physical items; options include tickets to a favorite museum, restaurant, wine tasting, escape room, concert, and more.
- Before making purchases, think about the necessity and longevity of the items. Opt for quality over quantity to reduce waste.
- Instead of buying gifts that your loved ones may not need, consider purchasing gifts for families in need through a local 'Adopt-a-Family' program. Do this in the name of your loved one and invite them to join you for a fulfilling afternoon of shopping
- Edible gifts can be a great present, especially if they’re packaged on reusable or recyclable dinnerware.
- Avoid buying flocked Christmas trees, metallic/glittery wrapping or tissue paper, and wrapping paper coated in plastic since they cannot be composted or recycled.
