Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Monday, September 27th:


• You know that bottle of water you bought the other day? A study recently revealed that forty percent of bottled water comes from the tap. Save your money instead, for the reusable water bottle and then, fill it up!
• Autumn means fallen leaves and fallen leaves mean raking! Remember, leaves make great compost!!! Don’t throw ‘em out, add them to your compost pile! Don’t have a pile yet? No biggie, odds are you have a neighbor that does!

• Awesome reuse idea! Start saving your used dryer sheets and then, when you have enough, use them to stuff a decorative pillow! It’ll save you from having to buy the stuffing and the pillow will be scented! If you start saving those sheets now, it’ll make a super Christmas gift for a teacher or someone special! Go one step further and repurpose a pretty shirt your child has outgrown or a dress you no longer wear and use those as your fabric for the pillow! Actually, while I’m on the subject, why not challenge your kids to make the gifts they’d like to give this year. It’s amazing what the recycling container and the back of their closet might hold that could get them on their way towards a whole bag of fun and useful gifts! Old CD’s could be reused as coasters! Attach felt in a bright, festive color to the back of the cd. It doesn’t matter what side you use, if it was CD you know the recipient would like, then keep the printed side up, but if you just want the clean silver side, cover the other with felt. A little bit of glue gun goes a long way! Renew, reuse, recycle, that’s the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
