Winter Blues and Greens
Beautiful weather, mild temperatures: The combination of these has made this a unique winter! How are you taking advantage of this unusual season? With this weather it’s definitely the time to be thinking green, yes as in spring or summer, but also in saving money and energy. With the days still being shorter it is important to replace old light bulbs with longer lasting bulbs that will help save money and energy. Keeping your house a few degrees cooler and utilizing those dusty sweaters and sweatshirts will definitely help with your heating bill.
Taking advantage of this pleasant weather will also wash away those winter blues; go for a walk or run, explore your local park, take advantage of programs and classes held at your local park, plan for the upcoming planting season, or pick up a new hobby. Even in winter, there are many volunteer opportunities in MetroParks, where you can learn a new skill, gain new experiences, discover new hobbies, and even meet new friends!
