Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Thursday, September 23rd:

• My mother preaches washing out and saving those zipper storage bags. Go one step further, store them in the freezer, that way bacteria won’t grow on them in between uses!

Yesterday, I was talking a bit about those little toiletry bottles that hotels provide for your use. My position has been that I choose to leave those on the counter where housekeeping left them instead of taking them home only to never use them. Well, over the course of the past twenty four hours, I’ve received a couple of emails which presented an opposing point of view. Sheila in Ferrisburgh says that she will take the bottles because it saves her from having to buy travel sized bottles of shampoos, conditioners and the like for when she’s on the road. Good point Sheila! You could, though, go one step further and keep refilling those little bottles and continue to use them, rather than restocking with new ones once they’re empty. Michelle in Brandon says she holds on to the little lotion bottles because they are the perfect size to carry in her purse. Careful, though, Michelle, those bottles aren’t meant for purse abuse and they’ve been known open up on their own accord. Perhaps keep that little bottle in own little pocket, all by itself…just in case! Listener response(love it-keep it coming!), on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
