I've added a list of "Green" Sites at the bottom of the site. If you have one, let us know.

Hi,
I have a cordless electric lawn mower, electric lawn mowers have been available for along time however cordless electric mowers are only a few years old or at least up here in Canada they are, there great, no fumes, no cords to tangle, and best of all you don't breathe in any fumes when your mowing. With the increase in cancers everywhere we should make every effort to breath in clean air as much as possible.

Judith and I are both Southern girls with generations of Southern women before us...One of my best green "finds" was to take another look at all the wonderful things that I have inherited over the years: beautiful handkerchiefs and hand towels, placemats and cotton napkins, picture frames, odd silver pieces...you name it! We all have boxes in our basements and attics full of those types of things which can and SHOULD be used. Not only will you be green, you will be honoring and remembering those dear people who came before you and using the things they used, day after day, year after year. If your grandparents or great grandparents are around, ask them how they lived when they were younger. You can bet it was a lot simpler and a lot "greener!"

Please, watch this short film and think about joining me, and giving some serious thought time and effort to our future, our children's' future, AND to our beautiful Garden of Eden....GOD GAVE US PARADISE, LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY....Thank you",

Dear Friends,
My sister and her husband have launched a new venture called "Geenraising" - a fundraising company selling eco-friendly and fair trade products. Schools and non-profits can partner with Greenraising to raise funds for their programs.
Rather than fill the world up with more wrapping paper and magazines, now organizations can help people live a little 'greeener.'
Please check out http://www.greenraising.com/ and recommend it to your favorite school or charity if you like the idea.
Best regards, Paul  (8/13/07)

Use real plates and real napkins. Use baking soda and vinegar for many many cleaning jobs, even for weed and pest control. Baking soda shines up a stove and chrome!!! with no chemicals or fumes. I do recycle paper grocery sacks and yet I get a 30 cent discount off every bag. Making a cloth bag that is washable would be the best though. I use a juicer and put the pulp in my garden. I have a friend that sells bugs for organic pest control. I am a Colon Therapist in Tucson, AZ using the gravity method with coffee (massagemomma@hotmail.com). Using food stuffs for facials, go back and ask your granny what she used to do...Ann (7/5/07)
-P.S.--Another thing, although a little time consuming this is. After a bath, I would bucket out the water to re-use in my garden as not to waste it. I guess you could put buckets in the shower!!!
 

Bring your own bags to the grocery store to save on plastic.  Keep the  bags in your car, so you don't have to worry about remembering to  bring them.  And many grocery stores give you a discount on your groceries for brining your own bag!...Brittany (7/4/07)

I have decided to save on trees + toilet paper. I now use OLD bath  towels to wipe my self after  number one.  I  still  use toilet paper for  number  two. I  believe  this saves a lot of trees  just to use  cloth. NOW the rest  of my family  has followed  me. SO  far I have saved  also in  land fill, and moneys...Susan (7/4/07)

To keep hydrated and keep the balance in my body (wine and food are my passion), I drink Core Vital's Earth Greens - an all natural powder mixed with water that keeps you healthy.  That way, you get your  "greens", take in plenty of water and end up losing a few pounds....Laurie (7/4/07)

Try to use real (cloth) handkerchiefs rather than tissues. In America we cut down more than a billion trees a year to simply manufacture 1 years supply of Kleenex...Sharon (6/27/07)

Switching from incandescent to fluorescent light bulbs is a great way to do your part for the Earth. They use 75-80% less energy than regular bulbs, and greatly reduce greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming/climate change. Also--we have a little one wearing diapers and rather than purchasing little bags to dispose of stinky diapers we use the plastic sleeve our daily newspaper comes in to shield the smell from the rest of the garbage. It's the best use we have found for recycling them--although we are considering eliminating our newspaper subscription altogether and reading online. ...Shawn L. (6/24/07)

Give up the bottled water you buy in stores. If you drink lots of water, get a filter at home. Then buy a Sigg water bottle and refill as needed. It is aluminum, doesn't make the water taste funny, and it saves the environment by reducing the number of plastic bottles in our landfills. Did I mention how cool they look? Check it out on www.mysigg.com. ...Shannon (6/23/07)

This probably works better if you don't have a house full. I try to remember to take my own grocery bag in to the store. But I sometimes forget, so I always ask for paper IN plastic. Then at home I separate them and use the paper for dry recyclable stuff and the plastic in the kitchen for the wet stuff. And I always keep a plastic bag in the freezer to put the garbage that won't go down the disposal. Then throw it away on garbage day, never have a bug problem in the house or the smell. I haven't bought a box of garbage bags in ages...any body got any tips on EASY COMPOSTING??? ...Amanda (6/21/07)

"If you live here in the desert like we do, you know how difficult it is to maintain color on the garden during the hottest months even if your pots and beds are irrigated. This summer I changed out all the dead, wilted, cool weather annual flowering plants with vegetables! Melons, heirloom tomatoes, peppers and herbs! The plants are textural and beautiful, they flower non-stop and they LOVE the hot desert sun. Best part of all...fresh homegrown ORGANIC produce that blows the pants off the factory farmed stuff in the grocery stores!"... Wayne K. (6/21/07)

For the garden...save money on those expensive, toxic cures for fungal and bacterial infections on your plants. In a blender full of water, maybe just half to start, add 6 or 7 cloves of peeled garlic. Pulverize it as fine as possible, strain and put into a spray bottle. And Voila!! A natural antibiotic you can spray on infected plants. Roses love garlic, so plant some between your roses, and they'll love you for it...Tom (6/20/07)

For your face...tired of spending a bundle on facial scrubs and tossing those containers into landfills??? Next time you make a pot of coffee or an espresso, save the grounds!! Once they are cool, put a few in your hands with some warm water and gently scrub on your face. I prefer to do it over the kitchen sink. Your family may think you look pretty silly, but let them face smooth and moisturized. And no the coffee will not stain your skin. Though I thought it would the first time I tried. And if you buy your coffee out...ask for some grounds to go...They'll get a chuckle and you are spreading the "Word"....and think of all that money you'll save!!!...Judith (6/20/07)

You can always buy bio-degradable dog bags at Petco they are really wonderful and are odor neutralizing.

Now that the weather is warming up, we turn down that thermostat, well maybe this year, let's not turn it down so far, so fast, allowing the body to adjust to the warmer weather. It works for us in yoga. I've always believed that going from extreme hot to extreme cold is the culprit in many a summer cold. See your electric bill drop and maybe a few stiff muscles disappear since the body is "NATURALLY" warmer. Now if we could just get the malls to raise the temp a degree or two.
And don't forget that fan!
