Sexy People Recycle!

Since I know you all already recycle, (: I found this sweet tip! When you are throwing away your cans and stuff you usually rinse them out, right? Well stop! It turns out all you have to do is empty the can (if its full) and just put it in your recycling bin. There are high powered water jets that rinse them with recycled water! Basically, if you rinse them and then throw them away they are getting rinsed twice! This also will save YOU time! Its a win, win situation! Woo! Go Mother Earth! This is kinda off subject but if you guess ever go to Disney World make sure you go on Living With The Land and Spaceship Earth. These are both really awesome rides. Living With The Land is more of an Eco-friendly ride. Its a must!

A Friendly Reminder,

Hey everyone! Don't forget, that Earth Hour is today from 8:30- 9:30! Please all try to participate. Even if you can't do it a full hour it will still help the Earth! Even Google turned out their lights!

Mediocre Mouthwash.

Did you know that your mouthwash can be harming the Environment? There is plant killing chemicals in it that flow back into the ocean also killing underwater life. A few damaging chemicals in it are formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, polysorbate, and Cetylpyridinium Chloride. What a mouthful; each one of these chemicals somehow manage to make sea creatures suffer, until they actually die. A great alternative to mouthwashes, that is very eco-friendly, is a saltwater gargle. You just add as much salt as you can to a glass of water until it can no longer dissolve. Then swish around in your mouth for about 30 seconds and spit. This is also a great teeth whitener. Now if you aren't too fond of saltwater then you can either try these mouthwash recipes or this mouthwash. A special thank you to Green Living Tips, for the information. Have a nice day! Don't forget to stop and smell the beautiful flowers this Spring!

Achoo!

When its Spring time, a lot of us get Spring allergies. Which means the sniffles and sneezing all over the place! A great way to reduce waste is instead of using disposable tissues to blow your nose, is to invest in a good handkerchief. This is very beneficial toward you. Not only will it be softer on your nose, but it can save space in the dump. Think about it, when you buy tissues you have to basically throw away the whole product. Once you get a box of tissues you have to open it, which is wrapped in plastic which you throw away. Then you use a Kleenex which once again you eventually throw away. When all the tissues are gone then you (hopefully) recycle the container! Tissues can add up to a high amount of money each year. Just buy a bulk back of organic handkerchiefs (click here) and you good to go. Saving the Earth and money one tissue at a time. These special organic hankies aren't bleached or made with hard chemicals. Plus they aren't ever dispensed with a box! If you want to keep the hankies smelling sweet, try adding a few drops of essential oil to the last rinse! If you don't want to go out and buy hankies try to find an old shirt and cut it up in to squares or use an old worn wash clothe.

Earth Hour!

Great news everyone, Earth hour is back! Now if your new to going green, Earth hour is when you turn off all your lights, TV, anything that uses electricity for one full hour. It will be taking place on March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm. This is like letting our Mother Earth have a day off at the spa. It rejuvenates, and will allow the Earth to work harder. I will remind you guys by posting about it on the actual day! Click here, to check out a video about it. Go Mother Earth!

Where's Your Green-Spot?

Did you know that you can really help the Earth by just placing your fridge in a good spot? Refrigerators already use a lot of energy and there isn't really a way that you can just turn off the fridge at night without all your food going bad. If it is placed where it is a bit warmer such as by the stove, oven, dishwasher, or even in direct sunlight it can make the fridge use more energy. So rethink about where to place your fridge. Not only will moving the fridge be good for the environment but it will be good for you too because it will run more smoothly and save energy. If you really want to step up your game try looking for Energy Star appliances.

A Simple Tip For Going Green.

A simple way to help the Earth that anyone can do! Instead of buying one shampoo and one condition, get a 2 in 1 Shampoo. It will have your shampoo and conditioner in one. Now this helps the environment in many ways! It saves plastic because your only recycling one bottle, it saves energy when they ship over the products, and you are saving time in the shower, which saves more water! This is a tip that will not only help the Earth but maybe give you a few extra minutes in the morning or at night! A great product that is a 2 in 1 shampoo is Herbal Essence, they just came out with a new product like this! They have almost all your favorite original shampoos converted into one! So there's no reason you shouldn't switch! They have Color Me Happy, Hello Hydration, Body Envy, Dangerously Straight, and Totally Twisted. You can keep your hair looking fabulous and the amount of shampoo bottles thrown out every year! If you want to check out the product click here!

Rechargable Batteries!

These are probably the coolest rechargeable batteries I've ever seen! The way they recharge is you pop off the top of them and there is a USB plug that connects to your computer! Did you know 15 million batteries are thrown away each year! That's enough to make a column to the moon and back! These rechargeable batteries are a bit pricey but they would be worth the money. Think how much you would save on batteries a year! It costs 20 dollars for a two pack of the rechargeable batteries. Now, if you can't afford this or your not willing to pay that much, no problem. There are other brands of rechargeable batteries such as, duracel or energizer. Here's the website for the rechargeable batteries.

Replace Your Night Light!

Did you know that there are eco-friendly night lights? Well now you do! That's right you can now replace your savior of middle of the night toe stubbing with one that helps the environment! There are a few different types you can get, ones with a timer, motion detector, or ones that turn on and off when light hits it! If you can't find any of these (or just don't like them) try to find one with an LED light instead of a regular bulb. This can save you money and the Earth! So its very beneficial. Check out this awesome night light!
