An Extremely Simple Eco Summer

Can a sun-toasting, memory-making, blue sky summer also be eco-friendly?

I believe that the greenest habits are the ones that don’t cost much money; they’d never upend our already busy lives, either. Today I speak with Paul Hope, Home & Garden Editor for Consumer Reports, and together we offer 8 summer-specific tweaks to your days that are so easy-peasy you won’t even realize you’re *also* helping the planet.

 

Here’s a preview:

[2:45] Summer is for barbecues: 3 tips for grilling smarter during your next cookout

[7:15] The rise of battery-powered outdoor tools (as confirmed by testing, the new ones actually work!)

[9:50] Adios, old-school sprinkler systems: 2 lawn mowing and lawn watering best practices

[18:00] Common-sense ways to help out your air conditioner on hot days

[21:00] Thoughts on making your freezer work for you this summer
