"We try to do a number of things: replace incandescent bulbs with lower energy florescent bulbs, wherever possible; we attempt to schedule errands together to minimize vehicle use; we buy locally produced produce when available; we minimize the use of plastic bags by carrying a canvas sack when we go to the grocery stores; and, when we travel to New York City, we use the train."
Bernie Miller, Deputy Mayor, Princeton Township, Governors Lane |
"By conserving energy, we help the environment. I hang washed clothes, linens, and towels on a clothesline in my yard. I also use florescent lights, take short showers, turn off lights and turn off my computer when I'm not using it. I use printer paper sparingly. I have a composting area in my back yard, ride my bike whenever possible, and shop locally in Princeton, which cuts down on automobile use. I also eat lots of foods that have little packaging, such as fruits and vegetables."
Ryan Tully, Marion Road West |
"We have a hybrid vehicle, low maintenance, bird friendly landscaping with native species that does not require much watering, and energy efficient utilities."
