Green Tip of the Day:
Why run on a treadmill, waste energy and be stuck inside, lace up some running shoes and hit the local trail or beautifl running trails at the local park. You are saving energy and enjoying nature :)

Green Tip of the Day:
Even if you are a star party planner you are likely to have leftovers. Instead of letting them sit in your fridge, potentially serving them up for the next few meals, why not send some home with your friends. Waste not want not.

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!

Such a beautiful day today, playing outside is a perfect idea!

Green Tip of the Day:
You can increase your gas mileage by as much as 50 percent for highway driving (and by five percent for stop-and-go city driving) simply by accelerating and decelerating smoothly and slowly.

Green Tip of the Day:
Make it a habit to print on both sides or use the back side of old documents for faxes, scrap paper, or drafts. Avoid color printing and print in draft mode whenever feasible.

No problem Annabelle I was too until I was told that by a friend!

Thanks for the microwave tip, Kristina. I'm constantly struggling with cleaning that!

Green Tip of the Day:
Easily clean your microwave. Place lemon slices in microwave safe cup with at least 8 ounces of water. Heat on high for 3 minutes. Let sit for 3 minutes without opening the microwave door. After 3 minutes, safely remove the cup and wipe down the inside of the microwave.
