TIP for Monday October 26th, 2009
Is the changing weather wreaking havoc on your complexion? Try products made with eco-friendlier ingredients and avoid the harsh chemicals. The cosmetics industry has only screened about 11% of the 10,500 ingredients in personal care products for safety, so opt for less questionable ingredients. You can use tea tree and willow bark to spot-treat breakouts, and look for products that contain fruit hydroxyl. You’ll have fabulous skin and a GREEN conscience!

TIP for Friday October 23rd, 2009
Thinking about hiring a cleaning service. Whether its around the
office or your homeŠhire a green cleaning company that uses
eco-cleaning products or non toxic cleaning chemicals. The EPA says
indoor air pollution is usually 2-5 times worse than outdoor air
pollution, and harsh cleaning chemicals contribute. Plus a study found
that 6 out of 100 cleaners get sick just from the products they use.
And of course those chemical all end up in the environment.

Get organic under the covers and sweet GREEN dreams. If you're in the
market for new sheets look for ones made out of organic cotton.
Non-organic cotton farming uses more pesticides than any other crop.
Whether you're on a budget or you're looking for solids, stripes,
patterns, flannel or sateen, you'll find organic sheets to suit you
that will be less harmful to the environment.

This weekends weather is going to have you stuck inside. Looking for
some fun activities for the little ones? Let them create some GREEN
masterpieces! Just make sure you use eco friendly art supplies. Up to
36 billion pounds of toxic acrylic polymer solvents, found in many
traditional art supplies, are produced each year. Plus, many standard
art supplies emit asthma-inducing chemicals. Look for ones that don't
contain ammonia, formaldehyde, or turpentine, especially since
supplies can sometimes end up in kids' mouths.

Winter is almost upon usŠtime to put that summer wardrobe away and
pull out the winter one! But how many of your summer outfits stayed in
the closet all summer? Maybe time for fall cleaning! If you haven't
worn something in a year you probably won't wear it again. Instead of
tossing those unwanted threads have a clothing exchange party with
your friends. Invite your friends, coworkers, and family up and tell
then to bring their unwanted clothes then everyone exchanges items.
Everyone benefits. You're able to get cool new clothes for free, save
the landfills, and have a party with your friends!

TIP for Monday October 19th, 2009
Here's something simple you can do to be GREEN. Drive less. Driving is
the most polluting thing we do: burning gasoline - or any other fossil
fuel - releases pollutants that cause smog, global warming and water
pollution. Of course no one is suggesting you park your car
permanently, just drive LESS. Combine several errands into a single
trip, take a minute before you leave home to plan multiple errands and
map out your route. Start using public transit as much as possible.
Leave the car at home if you can get there by walking, cycling or
taking the bus or subway.
