Go Green this St. Patty’s Day

Find eco-friendly ways to save – no matter how old you are

St. Patrick’s Day is a day dedicated to green...green clothes, green beverages, green foods, green decorations. Green, green, green!


This year, instead of fighting the leprechauns for their legendary pots of gold, let’s truly GO GREEN with some cost-saving tips and eco-friendly ways to conserve and celebrate.

Cook at home often: This can be a fun family activity and a great way to spend extra time with your loved ones.  Invite friends over for a potluck! If you are at an Assisted Living facility that provides quality meals, take advantage of it! You can easily “brown bag” the leftovers and enjoy them the next day.  If you don’t like leftovers, split recipe ingredients down to accommodate the number of people you are serving.          


Pay your bills on-time and avoid late fees: Rent, mortgages, Assisted Living costs and more usually have a deadline by which to pay before you incur a late fee.  Pay attention to this so you don’t have to fork over a late fee. And always keep an eye on your bank balance to avoid over-draft fees and watch out for ATM fees.
