Peter Melvin Wege created The Wege Foundtion in 1967 to honor his father and mother and contribute to the community they loved.

Peter Wege is pictured with his greenest of friends offering their best environmental tips:

1. Bring canvas bags to the grocery store; forget the paper and plastic bags.
2. Plant a tree.
3. Learn your 3 Rs. Recycle. Recycle. Recycle.
4. Don’t EVER buy helium balloons.
5. If you need to go somewhere, know your ABCs. Amtrack. Bike. Carpool.
6. Use your microwave instead of your oven. It uses 1/3rd less energy.
7. Your grandmother was right. Don’t warm the outdoors by leaving the door open. Same goes for summer and air-conditioning.
8. Replace your burned-out lightbulbs with fluorescent twister bulbs.. Turn off all the lights in an empty room.
9. Eat less meat: raising beef uses 4 times as much water as raising poultry and takes up 17 times more land.
10. Don’t EVER leave your car running.
11. Don’t run water when you’re brushing your teeth.
