Check out our past Quick Tips:
| |
December 2008: Look for inventive ways to recycle within your own
home – cut an empty milk carton in half, fill it with soil, and use the
carton to plant seeds. Once the seeds have sprouted, transplant the
seedlings to your garden. |
| |
January 2009: Save glass bottles and jars for storing leftovers.
Unlike plastic, glass doesn’t leach carcinogenic chemicals into foods or
stain as easily, and usually doesn’t retain food’s flavor or smell. |
| |
February 2009:
Paper or plastic…? Try using paper grocery bags to line trash cans and
dispose of your household waste. You can put your grocery bags to
another use and send a biodegradable bag to the landfill. |
| |
March 2009:
Check with your local recycling center to find out what kinds of plastics
they accept. Some plants take more than the basic #1 and #2 plastics,
glass, metal, and paper. |
| |
April 2009:
If you’re landscaping
your yard, stick to native plant varieties instead of turning to imports.
You won’t have to worry about whether your plants are harming other local
species, and as an added bonus, they’ll be perfectly suited to your climate. |
| |
May/June 2009:
Never microwave
foods in plastic containers or covered with plastic wrap. Instead, heat
foots in glass or china dishes, and cover foods with a glass lid, waxed
paper, or a cloth. |
| |
July 2009:
Next time you
find yourself craving ice cream, go for yogurt instead. Yogurt is not only
lower in fat, but rich with live active cultures that encourage your body to
produce healthy bacteria.
Fall 2009:
Mix up your own sugar-based body scrub to exfoliate dry skin. Add real
fruits, milk, or oatmeal to create your signature blend!
Winter 2010: After the holidays,
save leftover wrapping paper scraps to make simple wreaths, Christmas cards,
and other festive crafts. |
