Grandmother
Saving Money
My grandmother’s “icebox cake” was one of my favorite desserts growing up. This was a great treat to make in the summertime because Grandma didn’t have to turn on the oven and heat up the whole kitchen just to make dessert. Another benefit to making icebox cake was that she saved gas, and saving money was important to her. #sustainable #nobakecake #iceboxcake

I used to think that plastic water bottles could be infinitely recycled, that every time I tossed one into the blue bin, it eventually came out to be another plastic bottle. As it turns out, that’s not the case. Some materials can be recycled infinitely, but plastic is not one of them. #recycled #recycling #recycleplasticbottles #recycleplastic

One important consideration is how solar panels will impact the property value. Gaining some understanding of the benefits of a solar energy system on a home’s resale value can make going solar more appealing. #solarenergy #solarpanels #carbonfootprint #environmentalimpact #propertyvalue

Is your yard swarming with mosquitos? An excellent way to keep flying insects at bay without harmful chemicals is to recruit bats to eat them. Providing bats with the right habitat encourages them to take up residence nearby. #mosquitos #batcolony #sustainable #environmentalimpact

Green accommodations are an essential element of a more sustainable approach to travel. Unfortunately, it can be tough to tell which hotels are really green. To help set apart the cream of the crop, several organizations created green certification programs. #sustainabletravel #greenlodging #greencertification #greenaccommodations

Walking the vine rows this time of year is always such a treat, especially when looking at our red grapes. The clusters are changing color from green to variations of ruby red and purple, during the annual ritual of summer known by the French term, “Veraison.” The deep hues spreading throughout our vineyards are a telltale sign that harvest is around the corner. #wine #vineyard #napavalley #californiawine #veraison #cropthinning

Making a single building net-zero was doable, but what if an entire community could offset its energy consumption by using readily available green energy? That dream has become a reality. Dozens of net-zero communities are popping up across the U.S. and setting the stage for a nationwide shift to renewables. #sustainability #netzerobuilding #greenenergy #environmentalimpact

Cities, counties, and states around the U.S. are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are implementing mandatory “zero” policies or codes regulating new construction, according to New Buildings Institute(NBI). This is a reasonable path for homeowners who want to shift to renewable energy, efficient heating and cooling, and sustainably built homes. #sustainability #environmentalimpact #green #netzerohomes

Business Sustainability
For still others, business sustainability is a strategic responsibility, especially those in a resource-constrained environment. Whatever the reason, sustainability is sufficiently pervasive that defining it and executing business programs, products, and practices with an eye to their environmental and social implications has become a demanding managerial exercise. #sustainability #environmentalimpact #carbonfootprint #businessstrategy

We never thought about it when we were kids, but a kiddie pool, though lots of fun, is not very sustainable. Back then we didn’t worry much about plastics, but now I realize that these large plastic pools usually wind up in landfills. #environmentalimpact #sustainability #landfill #trash

What Is Plastic
Types Of Plastics
Coal Gas
Made
What is plastic made from? Simply put, synthetic plastics are made from fossil fuels. What are fossil fuels? Fossil fuels like coal, gas, and oil were formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms – basically old dead things. While plastic can be made from coal, it’s not very common. It’s typically made from oil or natural gas. #sustainability #sustainable #carbonfootprint #environmentalimpact #ecofriendly

Despite the scarcities of the Depression and World War II years, Rose managed to find a way to give her children frozen treats in the summertime. From these stories, two of Grandma Rose’s frozen treats stand out in my mind: layered fruit and Italian ice. Both used natural ingredients and only required the use of a freezer.#recipe #frozentreat #sustainable #sustainability
