GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK

Tip: Try to use fewer paper napkins. Each American consumes an average of 2,200 two-ply napkins per year or just over six napkins a day. If each worker used just 1 fewer napkin per day, it would save about 150 million of them from the trash-- enough to provide a napkin to every person who eats a hot dog on July 4th.

WELLNESS TIP OF THE WEEK

Tip: Bundle up and get outside! Think layers and hustle! You’ll be amazed how quickly your body heats up when you’re dressed appropriately and moving at a good pace. Plus, your body burns more calories in the winter than summer, so get outdoors and get moving!
