Fire Alarm Blues<br />
Have the number of fire alarms occurring in the building<br />
given you the blues Here are tips to follow to avoid<br />
setting off the fire alarms.<br />
• When you cook on your stovetop, make sure<br />
you turn your vent fan on to vent out the steam<br />
and smoke, especially if cooking with hot oil.<br />
• Make sure you clean your oven regularly as<br />
accumulated grease on the bottom can cause<br />
excessive smoking.<br />
• If your kitchen smoke detector does go off, turn the vent<br />
fan on high, open your windows, and fan the smoke<br />
detector until it shuts off. Opening your front door and<br />
letting smoke into the hallway will set off the whole<br />
building.<br />

Spotlight on...Sustainability<br />
The way in which we go about<br />
our daily lives has a<br />
tremendous impact on our<br />
environment. But there are<br />
many things we can each do<br />
individually to reduce our<br />
carbon emissions. The choices<br />
we make in our homes, the way<br />
we travel, the food we eat, and<br />
what we buy and throw away<br />
all influence our carbon<br />
footprint and can help ensure a<br />
more stable environment for<br />
future generations.<br />
Try The Nature Conservancy's<br />
carbon footprint calculator to<br />
measure your impact on our<br />
climate. This carbon footprint<br />
calculator estimates how many<br />
tons of carbon dioxide and<br />
other greenhouse gases your<br />
choices create each year. Visit<br />

to learn more<br />
about your effect<br />
on the world<br />
around you.<br />
Some Quick Reminders<br />
• Use “green” cleaning<br />
supplies and avoid aerosols.<br />
• Wash only full loads of<br />
dishes and clothes; wash<br />
clothes with cold water<br />
whenever possible.<br />
• Make sure the fish you buy<br />
or eat is sustainable!<br />
• Turn off your water while<br />
scrubbing dishes or<br />
brushing your teeth.<br />
• Turn out lights and unplug<br />
appliances when not in use.<br />
