Greening Our World

Did you know a low-flush toilet can save a family of four 14,000 gallons of water per year, saving water and money in the process!

Another week to change our ways and lessen our footprints upon this earth.

Green Tip of the Day:
Eliminate the use of pesticides and fertilizers on your lawns and gardens, and choose organic food. Harmful chemicals that go into the soil eventually end up in the oceans.

Green Tip of the Day:
Some commercial air fresheners use chemicals that can be harmful to a baby's development. Instead, lightly spritz the place with vinegar.

Green Tip of the Day:
Reduce your water heater temperature to 120° F. It makes no sense to cool off water that's too hot to use.

That is so great, if more businesses even home businesses would do this the impact would be amazing.

I run a home child care and we have been as green as can be for almost 4 years now. We walk to school, eat whole locally grown or local organic foods and pack environmentally friendly lunches. I recycle everything I possily can and teach all the kids to do the same.

Green Tip of the Day:
The best way to know exactly what goes into your skincare products? Make your own. Not only will you save money and packaging, but you'll also get the satisfaction that no preservatives or toxic chemicals were used in the process.

I will have to say that it is another beautiful Monday morning!

Green Tip of the Day:
If you can't make the jump to powering your entire house with alternative energy, start by focusing on one room at a time.
