The Prince William Board of County Supervisors recently created a sustainability commission that will have the authority to make recommendations to the board for a Community Energy/Sustainability Master Plan.
The master plan will provide guidance for the County to meet its energy efficiency and regional greenhouse and carbon emission reduction goals while considering economic development goals, population projections as well as equity, diversity, and inclusion, among other things.
During this time of the year, children are excited about Christmas in anticipation of the toys they will receive from Santa, friends, and family, yet if not properly selected, toys chosen may cause injury even death.
A report released by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) titled “Toy-Related Deaths and Injuries Calendar Year 2020” states an estimated 198,000 toy-related emergency department-treated injuries and 9 toy-related deaths occurred in 2020 among children 14 years of age and younger.
After all the holiday festivities are over, give your Christmas tree, wreath, and other cut greenery another life as compost and mulch.
Simply remove all ornaments, decorations, tinsel, nails, and the tree stand and set the empty tree and greenery at the curb for pickup as a part of yard waste collection by your waste and recycling collection service provider, during the first two full weeks of January.
