Dear Monti

March is GO GREEN MONTH
GO GREEN month is a national month of recognition and reminder for everyone to make more effort being environmentally conscious. Just as we make effort to remember the contribution of African American during February Black History Month. This month we should make effort to remember ways to help improve and save the enviornment.

How can you help save the environment and save money at the same time?
Did you know that eating and buying local produce helps boost the local economy and the dollars in your pocket. We save on emissions that are created by trucks carrying foods across the country, which in turns makes the food less expensive.

Imagine that! Eating healthier can benefit your health and your bank account.

Find out more this Wednesday!
