Mother’s day is coming up and what better way to show mom how much you care than by giving her flowers. I’m not talking about the flowers that you get at your local florist; I’m talking about the type of flowers that will never die. Why not buy her flowers that are made from recycled [...]
Neither, thank you. I brought my own bag. For the heck of it I finally got around to buying one of the cloth grocery shopping bags at my local Hannaford grocery store. I was only buying a few items and I thought, why not? Well, I think its one of the best investments I’ve made [...]
Before you stick your key in the ignition of your car, look around the car to see if you’re driving with unnecessary weight bearing items. The extra weight will cause your car to work harder and use more gas. Look under the front seats, check the back seat, open the trunk, glove compartment, and ashtray. [...]
Living green is a one decision at a time process. Sometimes the decisions are obvious and other times not. Yesterday I ran to the grocery store to buy juice. Not only do I go through the mental gymnastics on how to buy juice that will have the least amount of impact on my pocketbook, I [...]
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve got to warm up to this composting process. Don’t get me wrong, I am 100% for composting, but it’s the logistics that I seem to have some issue with. Last year I purchased a composting bin. I was very excited about composting (and still am). I [...]
Well here’s a new one on me. I came across a site that has Almost Free Furniture. Apparently you can buy and/or sell all types of gently used furniture for a fraction of the original cost. In today’s economy where prices are rising (especially gas) and salaries are not, it makes sense to look for [...]
Yet another use for white vinegar. Pour some on your pesky weeds, give them about a week and watch them dry up, turn brown and whither away. I poured white vinegar on some of the weeds that always grow in-between the bricks on my patio. A few days later, look at the difference. The one [...]
I came across this neat little pamphlet from the US Department of Energy called Energy Savers, Tips for Saving Energy and Money at Home. It gives great practical tips on how to make your dollar stretch further and save on energy costs. Did you know that draining a quart of water from your water heater [...]
I am not what you would call an outdoors type of person. It’s not that I’m against the outdoors, but there’s something about the spiders, mosquitoes and the unidentifiable bugs that, well…bug me. My little bug problem tends to put a damper on my gardening experiences. While I enjoy a home-grown fruit or vegetables just [...]
I was surfing the web at some unreasonable hour of the morning and I came across this website, buygreen.com. They offer environmentally friendly products for businesses and families. Their products range from furniture to cleaning products, kitchen appliances to games. They offer a wide range of green products. I think its worth taking a look [...]
