At Home:
- Make your own cleaning products
- Dry your clothes on an outdoor clothesline
- Use water-based paints instead of oil-based paints. Green Planet Paints is my favorite type of paint for the house. Feels amazing to the touch with an earthy smell!
- Use a push mower
- Rake and/or sweep, rather than blow, leaves and other yard waste
- Maintain your air conditioner or swamp cooler
- Purchase Energy Star products or other energy efficient appliances, home electronics, and lighting
"Life Without Plastic" a great online store for alternatives to plastic.
