We’re always Listening...Got an idea you want

to share with us? Don’t wait! Here are three easy ways to tell us

what’s on your mind:

24 Hour-HotlineCall (630) 784-6199,

ext. 300 anytime to leave a voice message. Be sure to leave your name and phone number if you want a reply.

emailDrop us a line at [email protected]

Suggestion BoxesJot down your comments and drop them in one of the suggestion boxes in the lobby at the Simkus Recreation

Center and the Aldrin Community Center.

Small changes can add up to a big difference, so we’ve made a few small changes to our program guides this season, to add up to big difference to the environment.

Fewer trees: we’re saving trees by reducing the number of pages in our guides and using recycled paper from sustainable forests.

Easier to recycle: gloss paper is harder to recycle, so we’ve switched from a gloss to a matte

cover to make our guides better for recycling.

Less energy: our guides are now cold-set printed, which means the ink dries naturally instead of under energy intensive heaters.

Less chemicals: by using eco-friendly soy ink, fewer chemicals are needed to print our program guides.

You can help our guides become even greener. When the season’s over, don’t trash them, recycle them!

Harvest your rainwaterPut your rainwater to good use by installing a water barrel on your downspout. Using rainwater

for your garden can reduce your water bill, and it’s better for your plants than tap water.

Start compostingCreate your own mulch for next spring with a compost heap. Composting leaves, vegetable

scraps and even coffee grounds is great for your garden and keeps waste out of the landfill.

ditch the plasticThrowing a party in the fall? Go green by switching from plastic utensils to biodegradable,

wooden cutlery and recyclable paper plates.

Go solarCut your electricity bill by using a solar powered battery charger to power up your cell phone,

iPod and other gadgets.
