Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Wednesday, June 23rd:


• Not far to go on that errand? Why not opt to bike or walk there, instead? The calories burnt means there’s a creemee in your future, reward yourself!
• The Sierra Club says that cutting meat out of your diet just one day a week is the equivalent to driving 1,000 less miles a year. Now that’s an impact!

Yesterday, I touched on a couple sure-fire methods of eliminating fleas in your home, safely and pesticide free. Some might say “Eh, we’ve only got a few fleas and really, there’s no big deal. More of a hassle to try to eradicate them. Well, number one, there’s no such thing as just a few fleas, where there’s one, there’s hundreds and the numbers grow with the minute! Fleas are dangerous pests, but insecticides can be equally dangerous. Trust me, there’s nothing sexy about these vampires! Fleas carry tapeworms and a bad infestation can cause serious blood loss to the host. Puppies and kittens can die from flea-induced anemia. Getting rid of them, safely, is not as hard as you might think. And if you don’t have them, but you do have pets, you might want to take some precautionary measures: Eucalyptus Leaves are a natural repellant because fleas don’t like the smell. Scatter them generously through your yard and if you don’t have a Eucalyptus tree, you can buy them from your local craft store. Another way to repel fleas naturally is with Cedar Chips. These are useful if you don’t have a pet, but your neighbor does and you’d like the fleas in their yard to truly stay their own. Place cedar chips along the fence between your yard and your neighbor's yard and keep the fleas at bay-naturally. Fleas don’t stand a chance with the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
