Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Wednesday, August 25th:

• If you’re considering a room re-do and are looking at replacing the old carpet, why not go more streamlined and greener this time with either a cork floor or maybe some reclaimed wood. It looks really weathered and very cool!
• Still talking about flooring ideas, my sister found the most beautiful carpet via the news paper. It was gently used and way cheaper than going with a new version. Take it one step further and look at garage sales. You’re sure to get a major bargain perfect for say, a dorm room!

I’ve been shopping again online and I found the coolest shower head that finally will end my wastefullness! One thing I’m guilty of is that I hate waiting. Waiting in line, waiting on hold and waiting for the water to get hot after I turn on the shower. I usually will turn on the shower and then walk away and do something else while I’m waiting to be able to step into the shower. However, I usually take longer than I intended and by then I’ve wasted a ton of water that’s just been running down the drain, waiting for me to get around to getting into the shower. And even a low flow shower head won’t help that waste! So, I think I’ve found a great compromise. It’s called the RoadRunner. It’s low flow, first of all, but it also shuts off once it’s hot. Seriously! You turn it on to warm up and once it’s hot, it just shuts off. Then, you step into the shower, pull the cord and it comes on at your desired temperature! I think I’m in love! Not only that, it installs in a five minutes or less. It’s forty dollars, according to the site I found and I’ll post the link for it up on our website (RoadRunner) for those of you who’d like to take a look. Personal green shopper extraordinaire!
