Every month we look for easy ways to "go green." So many times we think of "going green" as an arduous job involving significant sacrifice. We want to share some easy ways you can make a difference. Sometimes they are surprisingly easier than traditional ways of keeping house. We'll share just two today:
1.) Shop from local farmers
We are lucky to have access to local produce sellers as well as local grocers who value local growers. Why is this important? When you buy food grown locally it costs less to get that food to your table and it uses less fuel needed to transport the food. Find locally-grown foods by visiting: http://www.localharvest.org
2.) This one we found on the Johnson www.RightatHome.com website. Check out the site for other ideas for environmentally-friendly home organization and cleaning.
"Swags are in the bag.
Ziploc® Brand Big Bags, that is. “When my artificial floral swags get dusty, I put them in a [Ziploc® Brand] Big Bag with a few tablespoonfuls of salt. Shake! The salt takes the dust off and your flowers are ready to be rehung,” says Kelly, Washington, MO. This tip is great for refreshing all your silk and artificial flowers so you don’t have to buy new. Best of all, you can save the salt and reuse it the next time your flowers get dusty.We’re glad to see that taking care of our planet and its environment is such a big part of our members’ lives! Please continue to show your children and grandchildren that they can play a part in protecting the earth too. And thanks again for sharing your inspirational ideas with all of us. "
