Go Green tips for October 6th

Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Wednesday, October 6th:

• Thinking about Halloween costumes for the kids already? I know I am. Neat Repeats thrift shop in Middlebury has a super selection of spooky looks for little ones and on a budget! Check out your local resale shop first before you buy new!

• We have friends who have their sprinklers on a timer to turn on automatically two times a week. If you also have this technology, make sure to pay attention to the weather report. Rain today means no sprinklers needed tomorrow!

A super way to clean out your kid’s closet and add to it at the same time is a clothing swap. Plan a party with some friends, work or church buddies, bring your kid’s castoffs and swap around the duds. This is a great time to do it because Halloween is nearly upon us and your friends may have a costume or two to share! Oh, and while I’m at it, there’s a clothing swap planned this Saturday, from 9 to 11am at the Congregational Church of Middlebury in their Fellowship Hall. They encourage everyone to come on out to donate their child’s outgrown clothing and gear, then swap for the next size up! And again, all are welcome, even if you don’t have donations to swap. They’ll have children’s clothing, outerwear, accessories and shoes, age’s newborn through junior high. They do still need donations, though. The drop-off time was today between 5 and 6pm, but if you’d like to contribute, call them tomorrow and I’m sure they’ll be happy to take whatever you have! Reduce, reuse, refashion! It's the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK.
