Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Monday, September 13th:

• Repurposing is just as good as recycling. An old milk jug is great to use as a scoop. Just cut off the top, making sure to keep the handle and there you have it, great to use in your garden, compost pile or even at the beach!
• Are you sure about recycling rules? A great site to visit to help keep things clear is addisoncountyrecycles.org. They have, by far, the most comprehensive list of what can and can’t go in the bin. Check it out, today!

I’m out of baking soda, again. We use it a lot and well, I’m beginning to think I need to buy it in bulk. Of course, it plays a big part in keeping my fridge fresh, with the open box in the back. My daughter uses it on the bottom of her pet’s cage and well, her pet rat, Diamond is a bit of a baking soda hog, frankly. It’s wonderful in helping to get all the cooked on crud off the inside of the microwave. I just dissolve a couple of tablespoons of baking soda in water in a microwave safe bowl, then bring to the boil in the microwave. I let it sit for a minute or two, and boom! All the tomato sauce comes easily off the ceiling of the appliance, from the last uncovered bowl of ravioli or beef-a-roni that served last week, as snack (don't get me started on that rant!). I clean out my dishwasher using baking soda, I just run a cycle with the soda instead of soap. Baking soda in your vacuum bag cancels out pet odors, you can use it to clean your fridge. You can even use it to remove stains from your clothes. Wanna know more? Click here, take a look, and before you’ll know it, you’ll be out of baking soda, too!
