Its not just about recycling!
Just about everyone knows
about recycling. But saving the
environment isnt just about
recycling.
Its also about creatively keeping
useful objects out of the landfll!
When you look at a used object,
what do you see? Do you see the
object as it is or as it could be?
With a little creativity, even
something as plain as a wooden
pallet can serve a new purpose and
stay out of the landfll.
Wooden pallets are just about
everywhere. We see them holding
boxes or used on forklifs.
Pallets can be turned into
shoe stands, beds, or even a fun
backyard clubhouse for the kids!
Even used potato chip bags can
be restyled into a trendy purse.
Have you lost one earring from
a pair of pierced earrings? Use the
extra earring as a push-pin to hold
a note or photo on a cork-board.
With a little creativity and some
work, almost anything can be
turned into something of use.

Everything plugged into the
wall is constantly using electricity
- even if its not turned on! Save
power by unplugging your toaster,
cell phone charger, hair dryers, and
other electronics when youre not
using them.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah
accepts donations of old fabric
- even stained things with holes
that no one wants to wear. Tey
take the rags to the Salt Lake area,
sell them by the pound, and use
the proceeds to fund their local
community programs.
Sometimes its cheaper to hire
a professional to fx something in
your house than to do it yourself.
Te website www.DIYOrNot.com
will help estimate how much it will
cost to do it yourself or to hire a
professional.
Birds and other wildlife can
get caught in plastic 6-pack can
holders and die. Protect wildlife by
using scissors to cut the rings in
6-pack plastic can holders before
you throw them out.
You can use lefover parts of
pumpkins as fertilizer!
Making new paper from recycled
paper instead of from trees
produces 73% less air pollutants
and uses 61% less water.
Over watering can damage
your plants and make them more
susceptible to disease and pests.
Non-recycled plastic bags can
take 20 to 1,000 years to break
down. Recycle your plastic bags
in Washington County Recycling
Binnies!
Washing your car at an
automated car wash uses less water
and less time than washing your
car in your driveway.
Most banks now ofer online bill
paying services. Paying bills online
saves paper and money on postage!
Recycled aluminum foil is
produced with 1/20th of the energy
needed to produce regular foil.
Every year about $600 worth of
food for a family of 4 ends up in
the landfll.
If every household in the
United States used one roll of
100% recycled paper towels, we
would save 1.4 million trees, 3.7
million cubic feet of landfll space,
526 million gallons of water,
and prevent 89,400 pounds of
pollution.
Leaving your car at home just 2
days per week reduces greenhouse
gas emissions by an average of
1,600 pounds per year - and saves
you money at the gas station!
Water evaporates 4 - 8 times
faster during the day, so water
your yard in early morning or late
evening.
Turn down your thermostat
when youre not home. Youll save
energy and money on your utility
bill!

Alluring Ladybugs
By Angela Quayle, Horticulturist
Everyone whos anyone loves
ladybugs. With good reason, I say!
Ladybugs are natural predators
of pesky insects in your garden,
namely aphids. Tey will also eat
mealy bug and scale.
Encouraging ladybugs to be
present in your garden is easy.
Plant fowers that attract ladybugs
like sweet alyssum, cosmos,
calendula, cilantro
and dill.
Have water
available to ladybugs.
Cup-shaped fowers
and plants with large
leaves that catch
dew are great for
ladybugs.
Avoid using
pesticides. Tats right! Quit
spraying poison all over the place!
Even when you are targeting
a pest with a pesticide, you are
messing with the ecosystem of
your garden. When you eliminate
a predators food, the predator is
going elsewhere to eat. No aphids
equals no ladybugs.
If you fnd that you have an
aphid population, chances are that
there are ladybugs present in your
garden keeping that population in
check.
If it seems the aphid population
is really high, buy some ladybugs
and release them into your garden.
Yes, some will fy away. But
many will stick around to devour
aphids and lay eggs in the process.
Ladybug larvae are voracious aphid
eaters.
Make sure you know what
ladybug larvae look like so you
dont accidently rid your garden
of them. Tey are kind of strange-
looking and if you dont know
what they are, youll wonder what
kind of crocodile caterpillar
is in your garden.
Now that you have the
down-low on ladybugs, get
out there and make sure
your garden is ladybug
friendly!
Ladybugs are available
at Te Backyard Gardens
and Gifs early spring
through fall. Stop by and pick up a
container so you can help Mother
Nature keep a handle on those
aphids.
While youre at Te Backyard,
pick up a copy of Te Backyard
Buzz. Its a seasonal newsletter full
of info and a schedule of classes
to help you learn how to garden
organically and grow green.
See you in Te Backyard!

Composting - its easy!
Composting is an easy way for any
household to manage waste and
make amazing organic fertilizer.
Its the most basic form of
recycling!
Composting happens when
organic matter decomposes.
Te actual composting is a
reaction between carbon, nitrogen,
and water. Its a very natural
process. Composting turns
organic material into a dark, rich
substance. Tis substance, called
compost or humus, is an amazing
fertilizer for your soil!
Tis substance makes your soil
easier to work and less likely to
erode. It also decreases soil run-
of and promotes healthy root
systems.
Composting can help cut down
on the amount of trash your
household needs hauled away
All of your yard waste (branches,
clippings, grass), most of your food
waste, and even newspaper can all
be composted!
Technically, anything that was
once alive can be composted, but
some things should be composted
by professionals (like dairy
products, dog and cat feces, fatty
food, and diseased plants) because
they can attract pests or spread
disease.
You can compost non-dairy
and non-meat kitchen lefovers
yourself without professional help.
Begin a compost pile by buying a
compost bin (Lowes in St. George
sells a great tumbling composter
for about $90).
You can also build your own
compost bin, but buying a bin is
much easier and can be more cost-
efective than building one.
Afer your composting system
is set up, composting doesnt cost
any money. All you do to maintain
your compost is contribute
household garbage!
Make sure you put your
composting pile in a place that
receives at least 6 hours of sunlight
each day.
Here are some common compost
issues with simple solutions:
Strong smell: Tis is a signal
that your compost needs more
air. Turn the pile to increase air
circulation. If your pile is very wet,
add some dry materials.
Pile is damp, but wont
generate heat: Tis is a signal that
your compost either needs more
nitrogen or is too wet. Add grass
clippings or fertilizer to increase
nitrogen. If your pile is wet, add
dry materials or allow the pile to
dry.
Pile is dry and not composting:
Just add water.
Ammonia-like smell: Your
pile has too much nitrogen. Add
sawdust or other substances high
in carbon and turn the pile.

Clean with household products!
Te average American home uses
about 25 gallons of toxic chemicals
every year.
Most of these chemicals are
poured right down the drain,
where they can contaminate
surface and ground water.
Toxic cleaning chemicals can
make children, adults, and pets
sick - or even kill them.
Do your part by using cleaning
products made from non-toxic
household substances!
Unlikely, safe cleaning products
Baking soda - Baking soda is
a gentle non-abrasive cleaner.
Sprinkle some on a damp sponge
or cloth and use it to clean kitchen
counter tops, sinks, bathtubs,
ovens, and fberglass. Add 1 cup of
baking soda per load of laundry to
eliminate perspiration orders and
neutralize many chemical smells.
Washing soda - Washing soda
cuts grease, cleans petroleum oil,
removes wax and lipstick, and
neutralizers odors. Its far safer
than commercial solvents, but wear
gloves when you use it because its
caustic. Dont use it on fberglass,
aluminum, or waxed foors - unless
you want to remove the wax!
White vinegar and lemon
juice - Because theyre acidic,
white vinegar and lemon juice will
neutralize scale from hard water,
eat away tarnish, and remove dirt
from wood surfaces.
Detergent vs. soap - Detergents
clean just as well as soap without
ever leaving soap scum. Buy a
biodegradable detergent without
perfumes.
Borax - Use it for laundry
soap. It also cleans, deodorizes,
disinfects, sofens water, and cleans
wallpaper, painted walls, and
foors.
Cornstarch - Use it to clean
windows, polish furniture, and
shampoo carpets and rugs.
Salt - Salt is an inexpensive
natural cleaner and deodorizer.
Its useful for removing stains and
for cleaning pans and many other
items.
Club soda - Good for removing
grease from counter tops,
removing stains, and cleaning
glass. Also use it as an upholstery
Hydrogen peroxide, dryer sheets
Hydrogen peroxide is considered
the worlds safest all-natural
efective surface sanitizer. You can
literally watch it work!
How to use hydrogen peroxide
to clean/disinfect/bleach/sanitize/
deodorize almost anything:
Counter tops, mirrors, windows,
moldy lawn chairs, basement walls:
Spray hydrogen peroxide on it and
wipe it of.
Shower walls, tiles, moldy plant
leaves: Spray hydrogen peroxide
on it and leave it on. Wash it of or
scrub it of later.
Garbage cans, empty aquariums,
empty hamster cages: Pour some
hydrogen peroxide in the bottom,
spray the sides with hydrogen
peroxide, and let it sit.
Yellowed plastic, infected fngers,
earrings, fruit, vegetables: Soak it
in hydrogen peroxide.
Let your toothbrush soak in a
cup of hydrogen peroxide to keep
it free of germs.
Afer rinsing of your wooden
cutting board, pour hydrogen
peroxide on the board to kill
salmonella and other bacteria.
Pour half a bottle of hydrogen
peroxide in your bath to help get
rid of boils, fungus, and other skin
infections.
Use hydrogen peroxide to clean
your mirrors. Teres no smearing!
BE CAREFUL WITH METAL
THINGS - contact with hydrogen
peroxide will tend to make metal
rust faster.
Too strong a solution of
hydrogen peroxide can do real
harm to living things (people,
animals, plants, skin, fur, fruit,
vegetables, sprouting seeds). Please
fnd out the appropriate level of
dilution to use when dealing with
people, animals, and plants.
Dryer sheets are good for places
besides in the dryer! Try these tips:
Dissolve soap scum on shower
doors by cleaning the door with a
dryer sheet.
Clean of baked-on foods from
a cooking pan: Put a dryer sheet in
a pan, fll the pan with water, and
let it sit overnight. Clean the pan
with a sponge in the morning. Te
anti-static agent in the dryer sheet
weakens the bond between the
food and the pan.
Eliminate odors in wastebaskets
by placing a dryer sheet at the
bottom of the wastebasket.
Collect cat hair by rubbing the
hair-covered area with a dryer
sheet. Te sheet will magnetically
attract all the loose hairs.
Wipe Venetian blinds with
a dryer sheet to eliminate static
electricity and prevent dust from
resettling.
A dryer sheet will chase ants
away if you lay one down near
them. It will also repel mice and
bees.

All about alternative energy Lightbulbs that save you money
Have you seen the round, fat-
ended lightbulbs or twisted, spiral-
looking lightbulbs at the store?
Tese strange little lightbulbs can
save you money!
Round, fat-ended lightbulbs
are called Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs). Tese lightbulbs can last
over 10 years and are unbreakable!
LED bulbs dont have a flament
inside like a normal lightbulb does.
Instead, their light comes from
the movement of electrons
inside the bulb.
LED bulbs produce
almost no heat, so you
can safely use them in
fammable environments.
Tey also light up instantly,
even in extreme cold!
Unlike fuorescent
bulbs, LED bulbs have no
mercury in them, so you
can throw them right into
the garbage.
LED bulbs cost a little
more than regular lightbulbs, but
over time youll save up to 90%
by buying LED bulbs instead of
regular bulbs. Tis is because they
hardly ever need replacing and use
much less energy than other bulbs.
Te twisted, spiral-looking
lightbulbs are called Compact
Fluorescent Lights (CFLs). While
theyre less efcient than LED
bulbs, they save you energy and
money compared to regular
lightbulbs.
A CFL bulb doesnt have a
flament either. A CFL bulb
becomes bright when a small
electric current passes through its
tubing, interacting with chemicals
inside the tube and its inner
coating.
A CFL bulb is more expensive
than a regular lightbulb, but it uses
2/3 less energy and lasts 10 times
longer. So, the CFL bulb is actually
saving you 75% to 80% over the
cost of a regular lightbulb.
CFL bulbs have a short
warm-up period before
they reach full brightness,
which is why they can look
a little dim when you frst
turn them on. CFLs are best
used in fxtures that are lef
on for 15 minutes or more
because turning them on
and of frequently shortens
the life of the bulb.
All CFL bulbs are not
alike. Some CFL bulbs
arent suitable for dimmers, fans,
3-way switches, or timers. Read the
package when you buy a CFL so
you can be sure youre buying the
right bulb for the right fxture.
Because CFL bulbs contain a
small amount of mercury, the
bulbs should be recycled. If a
bulb is broken, take extreme care
cleaning it up! Learn more about
CFL clean-up and disposal at
http://www.energystar.gov.
Alternative energy is a term that
lots of people use. But do you
know what it means?
Alternative energy means
energy that comes from natural
sources.
Solar power, wind power, and
ethanol fuel are all forms of
alternative energy.
Almost everyone pays a bill each
month for the electricity their
household uses. If you dont like
paying for electricity, you can use
alternative energy sources to make
your own.
With the right equipment,
wind or the sun can power your
home. Youll be able to lower
your electricity bill or eliminate it
completely.
If your alternative energy system
produces more electricity than
your household uses, the electric
company may buy the extra
electricity you generate!
Tats right - instead of paying
the electric company, they may pay
you. Wouldnt that be nice?
You can even get a tax credit
from the federal government for
installing a wind turbine or solar
energy system at your home.
One way to generate alternative
energy is to install a wind turbine
on your house.
A wind turbine looks a little like
a windmill. Te turbine is mounted
on the roof of your home.
When the wind blows through
the turbine, the turbine rotates.
Te rotation of the turbine creates
electricity thats compatible with
your homes electrical system.
Solar energy can be generated
two ways.
One way is by buying and
installing a special solar-powered
water heater. If your current water
heater is powered by natural gas,
a solar-powered water heater can
also lower your natural gas bill.
Te most common way of
generating solar energy is by
installing solar panels on the roof
of your home.
When the sun shines on the solar
panels, the sunlight is converted
directly into electricity. Its that
simple!
Te federal government has
tax credits specifcally for people
who install wind turbines, solar-
powered water heaters, or solar
panels on their home.
Installing alternative energy
systems can be expensive, but the
money youll save over time can
more than pay for the equipment.
To learn about your alternative
energy options, contact your
utility company. You can also call
Alternative Power Systems, Inc. in
Cedar City at 435-586-9107.
Alternative energy tax credits
have special rules and regulations.

Recycle electronics!
By Virgin Valley Recycling
We all have them: those old
computers, printers, laptops -
you know, the ones sitting in the
back of the closet or in the garage
collecting dust and taking up
space.
Did you know that those obsolete
pieces of equipment can and
should be recycled?
Electronics recycling is very
similar to the traditional recycling
of metal, paper and plastic.
Recycling these electronic pieces
is very important, mainly because
of the rising problems caused by
e-waste. Virgin Valley Recycling
makes recycling electronics easy.
Virgin Valley Recycling cares
about the world we live in and
is driven to help safeguard the
environment by keeping electronic
waste out of landflls.
People tend to just dump cell
phones, computer, printers and
other electronic devices into the
landfll. Tis creates environmental
problems.
Most of the electronic devices we
use on a daily basis have high levels
of toxic materials like cadmium,
barium, lead and mercury that
have dire consequences to the
environment.
Tese dangerous elements can
leak into the soil and reach our
water supply and food chain to
create dire health problems.
By practicing electronic
recycling, you will be able to do
your bit to keep the environment
green for future generations.
Unfortunately, its estimated that
a large portion of e-waste ends up
overseas in third world countries
where it creates health and
environmental issues there.
Virgin Valley Recyclings mission
is to be a responsible steward of the
e-waste that is collected.
By re-using or de-manufacturing,
Virgin Valley Recycling fows
collected materials back into the
useful stream and keeps these
materials out of the environment.
If parts are not reusable and
not considered hazardous, Virgin
Valley Recycling dismantles and
separates them into plastics and
metals, which are given to the
appropriate vendors for further
smelting and shredding.
Each piece of equipment donated
to Virgin Valley Recycling is
tracked as it is either disposed of,
disassembled, remanufactured,
remarketed or destroyed.
With each piece of computer or
technology equipment received,
Virgin Valley Recycling removes
all labels and identifying marks
that have anything to do with the
donating company or individual.
All data needing to be removed
is deleted using procedures and
guidelines set down throughout
the industry that complies with
the U.S. Department of Defense
erasure standards.
While the amount of e-waste is
growing, the means of properly
disposing and recycling of the
items are available to you.
It is important that we each do
our part to prevent damage to our
environment.
Together, we can make a
diference.
Computers
Monitors
Cell phones
Cordless phones
Videocassette recorders
DVD players
Cable equipment
Circuit boards
Servers
Printers
Most other electronic items
Large appliances are not
accepted.
There is a nominal fee for
turning in CRT Monitors to
Virgin Valley for recycling.
Please call to check for the
current fees on these items.
We can be reached at

Leave no trace!
Southern Utah ofers beautiful
camping opportunities unlike any
other in the world.
Do your part to preserve our
environment for future generations
of campers by leaving no trace
when you camp!
Leave no trace means that the
place you camp at should look the
same when you leave it as it did
when you frst got there.
Follow these tips to leave no
trace next time you camp!
Dispose of waste properly: If
you brought it to the campsite with
you, take it with you when you
leave. Its that simple.
Inspect your campsite for trash
or spilled foods. Take all trash,
lefover food, and litter with you
when you leave.
Leave what you fnd: If it was at
your campsite when you got there,
dont take it home with you! Leave
rocks, plants, and other natural
structures as you found them.
Preserve the past by not touching
historic artifacts. Dont build
structures, dig trenches, or build
furniture in the wilderness.
Minimize campfre impacts:
Campfres can leave lasting
impacts on the environment. If
youre at a place where fres are
allowed, use established fre rings,
fre pans, or mound fres.
Cook with a lightweight stove
and enjoy a candle lantern for
light.
Make sure you keep campfres
small! Only use sticks from the
ground that you can break by
hand.
Burn all of your wood and coals
to ash, put out your campfre
completely, and then scatter your
ashes afer theyve cooled.
Respect wildlife: Observe
wildlife from a distance - do not
follow or approach them.
Dont ever feed the animals!
Feeding wildlife damages their
health, changes their natural
behaviors, and exposes them to
predators.
Store your food and trash
securely - this will keep the animals
and your food safe at the same
time.
And make sure you always have
control of your pets. If you dont
know if youll be able to control
your pet at all times, then leave
your pet at home.
Remember: We can all make a
diference.
Save energy, save $
Making your home more energy-
efcient doesnt just save you
money on your utility bills.
You can also get rebates from
your utility company and tax
credits from the government!
Questar Gas Company, which
services most of Washington
County, ofers residential and
business customers who install
energy-efcient appliances rebates
ranging from $50 to $750 dollars,
depending on the appliance.
Afer you get your rebate, youll
continue saving money by having
lower utility bills.
You can learn more about
Questar Gas Company rebates at
www.thermwise.com.
Te federal government ofers
tax credits for people who install
energy-efcient appliances.
Tax credits are better than tax
deductions because tax credits
reduce your federal tax liability
dollar-for-dollar. Tax deductions
lower your tax liability by
percentage.
You can receive a tax credit
for installing qualifying heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning
units; insulation; water heaters;
windows and doors; solar panels
and more.
To learn more about tax credits
for energy-efcient appliances,
visit www.energystar.gov.
Weatherizing your home can also
lower your utility bills by allowing
your home to consume less energy.
Weatherizing your home means
making your home resistant to hot
and cold weather by reducing air
leakage.
Tis is done by adding insulation,
adjusting windows, adjusting doors
and more.
A weatherized home uses less
energy and has lower utility bills,
and is healthier and safer than a
non-weatherized home.
Weatherized homes also help
eliminate hot and cold spots
in your home, control indoor
humidity, and can even ease
symptoms of allergies and asthma.
Even if you rent your home
rather than own it, weatherizing
your home can still save you
money by lowering your utility
bills.
You can learn about
weatherization by contacting your
utility company.
If your income is low, dont
worry - you can still get your home
weatherized. Te U.S. Department
of Energy has a Weatherization
Assistance Program especially for
low-income households.
Te Weatherization Assistance
Program uses the most advanced
technologies available to
weatherize your home. To learn
more about the program, visit

Recycling made easy with Binnie!
By Washington County Solid Waste
Recycling Program
Dont throw away your metal
cans, paper, plastic, or glass!
Recycle them with the Washington
County Solid Waste Recycling
Program!
Te Recycling Program has 45
Binnie (recycling bin) locations
in the Washington County area.
Proceeds from recycling items go
to the city or town the items were
recycled in.
Residents of Washington County
recycled over 2.6 million pounds
of material and raised over $72,500
dollars in the Binnie Program in
2010!
Heres what you can recycle in
Binnies:
Paper: Newspaper, ofce
paper, junk mail, phone books,
catalogues, magazines, cereal
boxes, gray and white board boxes.
Please bag shredded paper in a
grocery sack.
Please dont put contaminated
paper in Binnies. Make sure your
paper is free from food, drink, oil,
paint, and grease.
Plastic: Plastic bottles and
containers with a logo (#1, #2,
#3, #4, #5, #6, or #7). Tis includes
small, narrow, and wide-mouth
plastics. We also accept frm plastic
like grocery bags and newspaper
covers.
Please rinse out food and drink
containers before putting them in
a Binnie. Lids on plastic containers
are fne. Please compact all plastic
bottles to save room in the Binnie.
Glass: Green, brown, clear, blue,
and red glass bottles.
Please rinse out beverages from
bottles. Remove metal lids and
put them in the Binnie marked for
metals.
Metals: Any food or beverage
can, any metals that ft through the
opening on the Binnie, lids from
glass bottles, and tin, aluminum,
and steel cans.
Please rinse all food and beverage
from the can before recycling.
Labels on cans are fne.
Heres what you cant recycle in
Binnies:
Corrugated cardboard
Paper towels
Napkins
Tissues
Pizza boxes
Styrofoam
Vases
Window panes
Drinking glasses
Auto windshields
Full or unopened cans
Even businesses can go green
To the casual observer, it may
seem difcult for businesses to go
green.
But a business going green
doesnt have to be as hard as you
might think.
Businesses can use less energy by
weatherizing their facilities.
Tey can also use less energy
and get rebates or tax credits
by installing energy-efcient
appliances, including air
conditioning, heating, and even
roofng.
Businesses can also recycle paper,
plastic, glass and
metal.
It doesnt matter
if the recycled
material comes from
manufacturing or
not - just recycling
employees lunch
containers makes a
diference.
Any electronics used by
businesses should be recycled.
Too many businesses throw used
electronics in the trash. Tese
electronics then damage the
environment.
Trowing away electronics can
also compromise the security and
privacy of a business - many used
electronics still have extractable
data.
Businesses can also donate
reusable items to thrif stores.
Tere are some businesses, of
course, that fnd it more difcult to
be environmentally friendly.
How could a company that prints
PVC banners and paper products
go green?
A local company has fgured that
out.
Steamroller Copies and Design
to Print uses specialized inks and
materials that help preserve the
environments ecological balance.
Tey dont use products that
contaminate or deplete natural
resources.
Every year, millions of vinyl
banners are thrown
in the trash, where
they take an average
of 500 to 700 years
to degrade in our
landflls.
Te people at
Steamroller Copies
and Design to
Print know thats a
problem.
So Steamroller Copies and
Design to Print prints their vinyl
banners on a biodegradable
material.
When these banners are exposed
to landfll conditions (darkness,
high heat and moisture, lack
of oxygen), the banners attract
microbes that break the PVC down
in just 3 to 5 years.
With some creative thinking, any
business can do their part to help
preserve the environment.
