Eco Friendly Tips & Toxic Dangers in your home Reuse your shopping bag - When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil. Plant a tree - A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. Switch to green power - In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. In some of these, you can even get refunds by government if you choose to switch to a clean energy producer, and you can also earn money by selling the energy you produce and don't use for yourself. What are the
risks with normal household products? If the idea of environmentally harmful cleaners and toxic fumes doesn't quite
inspire a Mr. Clean attitude, perhaps green cleaning alternatives will. Shop like your life depended on it! Organic products promote the health and wellness of our body and world. Be environmentally conscious!

Recycling Recycling is the third R of the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling means taking a product or material at the end of its useful life and turning it into a usable raw material to make another product. Be sure you’re recycling at home. You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates. Managing organic material at your home can not only decrease the amount of material you send to the landfill; it can also help turn your organic waste into a landscape asset. Composting will reduce the amount of food waste in your garbage can, while creating nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden. Did you know that used motor oil can be recycled? How about paint and batteries? It turns out many of the items in your garage are recyclable.
