COVID-19 has caused us all to change our daily habits. One of the biggest changes is staying home. But that just means we can focus more of our energy on improving our habits. We have compiled a list of resources to help make that easier for you. Here are some environmentally friendly tips that you can start doing around the house to help save you money and reduce your environmental footprint!

These resources were created as part of the Mid Willamette Earth Challenge. If you're interested in finding out more about how you can participate in our challenge, click here.
