Halloween Safety Tips

Posted on by

Halloween is around the corner. In addition to lots of treats, there are always a few tricks to be aware of, so here are some safety tips for the big night:

  • Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross
  • Put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
  • Always walk on well-lit sidewalks and pathways
  • Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
  • Decorate costumes with reflective tape or stickers, and choose face paint over masks.
  • If you’re driving, SLOW DOWN, put away your phone, and be especially alert in residential areas
  • Make sure your headlights are on.

Trees Keep Our City Clean, Beautiful and Healthy!

Posted on by

To help increase the Tree Canopy in our urban area, the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) offer “Treebates” to offset part of the cost of planting a new low or medium water usage tree. The “Treebate ‘can also be used to help cover the costs of tree maintenance. As our communities grow, we see the increase in streets, roof tops, and parking lots, etc. All these hard, paved surfaces cause “the heat island effect” warming our cities by as much as 10 degrees. Trees are a great natural tool to help mitigate the heat island effect, and keep our cities clean, beautiful, and healthy! Choose from our list of 20 beautiful trees to increase your tree canopy! Visit www.505Outside for details.
