8 dos and don’ts for helping our planet:⁠ ⁠

8 dos and don’ts for helping our planet:⁠
⁠
Do:⁠
✅ Plant edible plants in your gardens and yards!⁠
✅ Recycle better by breaking down boxes, and rinsing plastic containers.⁠
✅ Use more reusable bags and towels instead of plastic bags and paper towels!⁠
✅ Start recycling organics (aka composting) - you can check out the link in our bio to learn more!⁠
⁠
Don’t:⁠
⛔️ Let rainwater go to waste - consider installing a rain barrel and using the collected water.⁠
⛔️ Forget to turn off your lights and air conditioner when you’re not home.⁠
⛔️ Leave your reusable water bottle at home! Skip the one-time-use bottles for a trusty, reusable one.⁠
⛔️ Use unnecessary or harmful chemicals to clean in your home - find and use truly green products.⁠
⁠
Share your dos and don’ts and let’s keep DOing better for the planet, together.⁠

“...in a deeply unequal world, a global crisis has wildly uneven effects. A rising tide may lift all boats, but those closest to shore drown first.” ⁠
⁠
In the last few weeks, you may have noticed some unusually high temperatures. Have you ever thought about who is responsible vs. who is most affected by these rising temperatures? ⁠
⁠
Those who are disproportionately affected by climate change and environmental degradation in the US and around the world are marginalized communities of color. ⁠
⁠
Powerful organizations, such as huge corporations and the US military, are some of the largest contributors to climate change - and they should take the lead in the battle for environmental justice.⁠

Check out what one of our amazing cleaners, Ashlyn, said before starting a new opportunity:⁠
⁠
“Thank you so much! I’m so happy I got to work for Two Bettys - I really enjoyed my time working with you all and working for such an incredible company. I did not anticipate it being so short and it’s the first job I’m leaving where I’m not running AWAY from it, and it feels more bittersweet. ⁠
Thanks so much for all your help and patience during my time with Two Bettys. I can’t say enough good things about you guys.” ⁠

Want to give a gift to a loved one that will blow

Want to give a gift to a loved one that will blow them away? Check out this amazing feedback from one of our Two Bettys clients:⁠
⁠
“I gave 6 months of your service to my son, Dan, for a Xmas present and it was the best present ever for several reasons. First of all, he had a clean house and was so surprised every month at how much better everything looked…didn’t listen to his mom all these years. Two Bettys was wonderful to work within that you kept it as a surprise, helped me with the billing, didn’t get upset when I didn’t receive an invoice for the first two cleanings and was late paying the bill. And finally, the cleaner, Jon, did such an outstanding job each and every time. Dan and I were both sad to hear that he had been promoted, but he certainly deserves it. Dan has loved your service so much and plans on continuing it. Thanks for everything.” - Two Bettys Client ⁠
⁠
Moral of the story is: listen to your mother and make dreams come true with the gift of green cleaning! Check out our website to learn more about us, our cleaners - or, if you’re already a client, leave us a review on Google or Yelp!⁠
