Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Monday, March 8th:

• Worried that natural cleaning isn’t as effective as mainstream cleaning when it comes to food-borne illnesses like E. coli?Natural cleaners can be highly effective in the kitchen, even when it comes to nasty food-borne illnesses like E. coli.
• Spring is around the corner! Why not use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying. Mud season rules, apply, though, use strong clothes pins and keep the dog clear!
• Did you know that the number of cars on the planet is increasing three times faster than the population growth. No contraceptive for that, I guess!


Did you know that aside from being incredible annoying, a small drip from a faucet can waste up to 50 gallons of water a week? That’s enough water to run a dishwasher twice on a full cycle! So fix those leaks! Here’s another water saving tip for those who don’t have a dishwasher: Instead letting the faucet run to rinse dishes as you wash them. Wash a small amount of dishes and place them in the second sink or wash basin. Then take a break from washing to rinse those pieces before you move on to more. I have to give credit where it’s due, my husband, after patiently watching me wash dishes the other way for about two years, yes, the honeymood period, finally couldn’t stand it anymore and showed me the more efficient method. This was also about the same time he finally told me he couldn’t stand how loudly I ate popcorn. I bought him ear plugs. Don’t go mean, go green with 921 wvtk!
