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 />

calculator/<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 />
