Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Friday, November 12th:

• An incredible 69 percent of Americans still don’t recycle. Every once in a while, perhaps do an inventory check of your garbage can to make sure your entire family is on board the recycle ride!
• Air quality inside our homes is often much worse than the air outside. Ways we can improve it, non-toxic cleaners for a start and fill the house with plants, they absorb air pollutants and improve your ambiance!

Did you know that aside from being incredible annoying, a small drip from a faucet can waste up to 50 gallons of water a week? That’s enough water to run a dishwasher twice on a full cycle! Simply fixing the leak can save you money! So can installing a low flow shower head. We have one and I can’t tell the difference between that and the regular flow model. I’m picky, too. While we’re talking about saving water and money…don’t forget that those bottles of water you spend money on will end up in the landfill and forty percent of bottled water is tap, anyway. Now, investing in an inexpensive aluminum bottle that you can refill and keep with you for impending thirst, is a better way to go. I just bought a new one for $2.99 at TJMaxx. No, I’m not kidding. It’s cute, too! My fourteen year old wants one just like it, and if that’s not high praise, I don’t know what is! I’m stylin’ and green on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
