🥘 Electrify Your Kitchen

 One of the ways you can reduce your home’s carbon footprint and help the County meet its climate goals is to switch to induction cooking in your kitchen. Compared to a traditional natural gas stove, induction cooking appliances are better for the environment, use less energy, are fast and efficient, and a safer alternative. Faster. Cleaner. Tastier. Induction stove-loving chef, Justin Lee, makes The New York Times Restaurant List 2023, in his new NJ location. In this video by Rewiring America, the chef explains why you should upgrade to an induction stove.

🍁 Electrify Your Lawn

🎶 All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown) and the sky is gray (And the sky is gray) 🎶 and this means that the leaves are now all over our lawns and that is okay! Tree leaves are full of important nutrients for trees, lawns, and vegetables–we recommend you keep as many as you can on your property! Here are five ways to make leaves disappear quickly.

If you want to use a leaf blower or lawn mower, we hope that you make the switch to electric! Beyond the loud noises they generate; did you know that using a gas-powered leaf blower for an hour emits as much carbon monoxide as a car engine idling more than eight hours? Making the switch to electric leaf blowers is easy: they’re clean, emit less noise, and require less maintenance than gas-powered models.
