Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Tuesday, September 21st:

• When you buy a product try to pay attention to things like how you might dispose of the packaging. Is the same item available in a more environmentally friendly package? Being green means buying green as well!
• Did you know in Las Vegas, the Bellagio Hotel’s huge fountain contains one hundred percent recycled water from their showers and waste water. I’m down with that! I may not want to swim in it, but to look at and appreciate, I’m all about it!!!

Your child’s art teacher may be one more step towards living green! You’ve seen some of the great projects that come home from school, where do you think the art teacher gets all the oatmeal canisters and paper towel rolls and newspaper and…well…everything that inspires your child’s inner artistic prodigy? The parents, that’s who! Oh, he or she will also ask their fellow teachers to collect these things and such from their homes, but they rely on parents for the most part. So start putting the shoe boxes, the oatmeal containers, the wrapping paper rolls and scrap cardboard aside and then make a donation to your local art teacher. I promise you’ll be rewarded with a warm smile in appreciation for your thoughtfulness and maybe they’ll even promise to use a little less glitter in your child’s next take home art project. It never comes out of the backpack!! I may not know art, but I know what I like on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
