A Greener Home
Here are 2 ideas to implement in your home that will make a big difference in the “going green” arena. They are simple little things that add up to a lot of savings– economically and environmentally. 1. Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs. They can last 12x as long as regular and use 50-80% less energy! If every American household replaced one regular light bulb with a C.F.L, the pollution reduction would be equal to removing one million cars from the road! 2. Plastic Bags. They are made from toxic polyethylene and are not biodegradable. They are polluting our oceans with tiny fragments of plastic and beginning to work their way up the food chain. Use canvas or paper bags! Here are two recipes for cleaning fluids that will help your pocket book and your health. Window cleaner: 2 cups water, 1 cup white vinegar & 1 tsp liquid detergent. Furniture Polish: 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup olive oil. I have tried the window cleaner and it is great - easy on the hands too! Good Luck!
