Green Topics
Green. Now that’s a big topic lately … and rightfully so. We are lucky to have the wonderful earth to live on and preserving it is of upmost importance. That is, if we would like to continue our stay here. So what green topics would you like to discuss? I open this page for all to share their green ideas and projects, weather large or small. Hopefully we can inspire each other.
What are you doing to reduce your dependency on non-renewable resources and landfills? Do you think it’s working?

If you did not get to attend the workshop presented by Michelle Vattano with the New Mexico Recycling Coalition and Chris Campbell with NM State Institute for Energy Lamp Hosted by Angel Fire Recycling Commitee; the Environment on Thursday, October 29th, you really missed a very informative event! The IEE along with the NM Recycling Coalition currently offer free on-site polution prevention and energy efficiency evaluations, technical assistance and information for small businesses and municipalities. While in town, Michelle and Chris worked with Kat Adams, owner of Angel Fired Pizza, and evaluated her current recycling and energy conservation program, which she and her husband, Brice, have been committed to for some time. Michelle and Chris were able to make suggestions that will help Kat and Brice to increase their recycling efforts and save money on more efficient energy usage.
Some of the subjects taught in the workshop were how to track and measure your waste streams, track and measure what you spend on waste, set reduction goals, and marketing your business as “Green”. Not to mention, how to save money on very simple energy reduction ideas! For more information you can contact Michelle Vattano at 505-827-0677 or email her at michelle.vattano@state.nm.us.
