Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Friday, February 26th:

• Environmentally friendly moisturizers are great, but expensive. Did you know that by simply takig a warm shower instead of a hot one can minimize your need for moisturizer in the first place? You’ll use less and make the investment of your green beauty product last even longer!
• Petroleum based lip products have gotten a bad rap. They’re not toxic , however, they do cause allergic reactions to those with sensitive skin, I know I’m allergic! And they can upset your stomach if you consume too much. Lick your lips a lot? Then, go petroleum free!
• Did you know that you can recycle old eyeglasses? Donating your old glasses to an organization that redistributes them to individuals who can’t afford a new pair! You’ll improve someone’s quality of life and extend the life of those old frames you were going to throw out.


If every house in the United States changed all of the light bulbs in their house, that would be equivalent to taking one million cars off the streets. Want to switch to fluorescents, but don’t like the look of them? Go take another look! They’ve evolved and now have new designs that really look like the conventional bulb and some, even better! Whether you’re looking for colored bulbs or dimmable, maybe candelabra or a buglites, some can flicker! They’re no longer expensive and the tradeoff for the environment is well worth it!
