Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Wednesday, March 10th:
• Making sure you recycle is just one step of the process. Also trying to buy recycled products. I call it feeding the loop! We can now find high recycled content in everything from printer paper to office chairs. Even toilet paper!
• What to do with the outdated phone book? How about using it, sheet by sheet, as an alternative to paper towels. Clean windows and mirrors. In my house, right now, it’s all about the puppy messes, we’re up to the letter R.
• Kid’s growing too fast and you don’t want to donate the stained or ripped jeans (I have issues with that, too!)? Make cool pillows out of them for a tween or teen’s room! That way, they never have to part with their favorite pair of jeans! Green! 921wvtk!
Glass jars are easily recycled, but they're also easy to reuse: just clean them, peel or scrape off the labels (or don't, if you like that look), and give them new jobs as storage for leftovers, candle holders, desk organizers, vases, coin banks, or, well, pretty much anything else. A friend of mine saves all of her left over jars and covers them in sweater material. She’ll save old sweaters, cuts off the arms and takes that material to cover the jar! It’s very cool and incredibly decorative! She’ll then fill them with candy, beads, whatever and gifts them to teachers, friends, in-laws…you name it. Creatively green—I think I want that on a t-shirt! The Go-Green Ride at Five 921WVTK
