Green Tips

Green Your Closet

Make a few simple changes to your clothes shopping habits and your wardrobe will be green in no time: choose natural fabrics and organic cotton while accessorizing with vintage.

Green Your Wash

Find a less toxic dry cleaner and avoid the toxic chemical percloro-ethelene (PERC) which can cause cancer and contaminate water supplies.

Treat Your Pet With Green Loving Care

“Human quality” pet food is all the rage these days including meats that are raised in a humane and sustainable manner.

Use Common Sense Pest Control

Seal up holes and cracks around your home’s foundation and cut off a pest’s food and water supply before reaching for the poison.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Plant a Tree

Trees capture and hold carbon dioxide (a green house gas that is in a large part responsible for global warming) and provide shade that decreases the need for air-conditioning.

Go Green Within Your Network

They say there is strength in numbers for a reason. So grab a green buddy, whether it's your friend, mother, father, sister, co-worker of brother. Review the simple things you do to go green, search the net for green news and tips. See what you can do in your community to make things more eco efficient.

Recycle, recycle, recycle

If we are going to consume materials, let's make sure we explore ways for them to be repurposed and reused. Plastic that does not get recycled ends up in landfills and our oceans. More and more recycle centers are popping up and there are even a ton of recycling incentive programs (such as www.recyclebank.com and Think Green Rewards brought to you by Greenopolis.com

Get involved in your community

A big part of the green movement is volunteering. There was the whole "Green The Block" day, community gardens are sprouting up allowing people of all ages and from all walks of life to go green together. Look up Tree People, Heal The Bay or on a more local level, hit the web and research green groups you can join in your area.
