5 EASY STEPS TO GO GREEN!
1. CHECK OUT YOUR CLEANING PRODUCTS
Many cleaning products contain harmful chemicals such as ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and formaldehyde. Doesn`t it make sense to choose safe natural products that don`t hurt your health or the health of our planet?There are many Green Products that are safe, non-toxic, and really work. They are formulated from natural sources such as enzymes or biodegradable cleaning agents derived from corn and coconuts.
An easy way to start is to get a Green Starter Kit with everything you need to clean your home.
2. USE YOUR DISHWASHER
Using the dishwasher saves nearly 5,000 gallons of water per year compared to washing dishes by hand, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Phosphates cause algae to grow and are a major source of water pollution. So be sure to use a phosphate -free detergent.
Check out this phosphate -free automatic dish wash detergent.
3. THROW AWAY THE ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAP
A common ingredient in anti-bacterial soap, triclosan, can be toxic to fish and other aquatic life.
Overuse of anti-bacterial soap can create antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Washing your hands well with plain soap and warm water is just as effective against illness as using anti-bacterial soap.
A Green Hand Washing Liquid can be a great alternative. It is soap free, pH balanced, hypoallergenic, and is biodegradable. .
4. CARRY YOUR OWN BAG
Plastic bags take a thousand years to decompose. So why not bring your own reusable bag? One reusable bag can take the place of hundreds or maybe even thousands of plastic or paper bags.
