🍬 Did you know that the vibrant wrappers from Halloween candies, which you may think you should discard in your recycling bin, could pose significant environmental challenges? These wrappers are not accepted in curbside recycling programs and can contaminate recyclable materials, diminishing their overall value. Next time you indulge in a spooky Halloween treat, please ensure that you dispose of the wrapper correctly. Consider sharing this information with a friend who enjoys candy to help raise awareness. #sustainability #halloweencare #environmentalresponsibility @/state-of-texas-alliance-for-recycling-star/

🌪️ As the hurricane season continues Reliant Energy would like to remind you to bring loose, lightweight objects inside that could become projectiles in high winds (e.g., patio furniture, garbage cans); anchor objects that would be unsafe to bring inside (e.g., propane tanks); and take some time to trim or remove trees 🌳 close enough to fall on the building.⁠ ⁠ 🌎 With the larger impact of climate change being felt more and more each year, you can help offset your carbon emissions by signing up for the Reliant EcoShare (SM) program! Not only that, but in partnership with EarthShare Texas, you’ll also be supporting more than 30 local environmental organizations for a Texas-sized impact! 🤝🌟⁠ ⁠ Learn more at the link in bio!⁠ ⁠ #EarthShareTexas #ReliantEcoShare #Sustainability #EnergyConservation⁠
