Two cars are plugged in and charging at the EV charging spot. The charging systems are between the cars. The cars are in a parking garage.
As you prepare for the winter snow, don't forget to give your EV some TLC and charge it up!
Cold weather makes your battery have to work harder, which can cut your driving range by 20% or more.

The Salt Wise campaign is a simple three-step method for residents to keep sidewalks and driveways safe while also reducing harm to the environment. Community members can take the following three steps to be Salt Wise: Shovel ice and snow early and often. Use one 12-ounce cup of salt for 10 sidewalk squares or for a 20-foot driveway. After storm events, sweep up excess salt for reuse.
With #snow❄️in the forecast today for @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social, remember to be #SaltWise▶️
☑️Shovel ice & snow early & often
☑️Use 1 ½ cups of salt for a 20-foot driveway
☑️After storm events, sweep up excess salt for reuse

don't trash your ebike battery - keep it out of the dumpster, landfill or tossed in the back of your garage.
As you and millions of other people get outside and ride 🚴♂️this summer🌤️, do you have a plan🗒️for recycling♻️ your old e-bike battery🪫 when the time comes to replace it?
😃Now you do▶️ tinyurl.com/mwun6f5y @mygreenmc.bsky.social #bikemoco @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social @frederickrecycles.bsky.social
cut up strawberries, kiwis and pineapples in plastic cups with plastic lids sitting on a counter for sale.
The next time you buy groceries, consider how many single-use plastics you could avoid if you bought in bulk. Plastic packaging is the largest market for plastic and the largest source of plastic waste. Buying in bulk means more value for your wallet and a sustainable lifestyle. #PlasticFreeJuly

Americans who think global warming is happening outnumber those who think it's not by a ratio of more than 4 to 1.
Take the Climate Smart Pledge🙋♂️ & begin incorporating small steps daily (like riding the fare free RideOn bus🚌) to be part of the solution. ▶️ tinyurl.com/jth7estd @mygreenmc.bsky.social

Americans generate over 36 million tons of plastic waste per year. Most of the plastic we use every day is used once and then discarded. Help us reduce waste and litter by giving up plastics. Not sure where to start? Check out these tips! bit.ly/3XPLCgb #PlasticFreeJuly
