http://getgreen.com/top5tips.html 1. By eating fish that are caught in an environmentally responsible manner, you can help keep the marine ecosystem healthy, without compromising freshness and taste. Find out which fish are best and worst to choose. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/jun2004/nf2004061_9370_db016.htm Buy a hybrid car. Have you ever ogled a new Toyota Prius or Honda Insight? Known as hybrids, these Japanese models combine a traditional combustion engine with electric power. Along with a sleek design, they offer high mileage (about 60 miles per gallon in the city) and low emissions. And given their increasing coolness, the price isn't bad either: Each has a sticker starting around $20,000. http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/press_releases/green_tips_to_reduce_carbo.html Everyone can now choose a green electricity tariff. Buy your electricity from a supplier that supports renewable energy sources, such as wind power and biomass. Earlier this month Friends of the Earth published its guide to green electricity tariffs. The four recommended are Ecotricity 121 (Ecotricity), RSPB Energy (Scottish and Southern Energy, Unit[e] (Unit Energy Ltd and, in Northern Ireland only, Eco Energy (Northern Ireland electricity). http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Publications/GreenTeam/default.cfm Enjoy a cup of joe with a cleaner conscience. Did you know you can reduce waste and help wildlife while you drink coffee? If you brew it yourself, eliminate paper filters by purchasing a reusable filter, available for just a few dollars at natural food stores and elsewhere. White paper filters pollute water with chlorine and other harmful chemicals. Unbleached filters are an improvement but, over time, waste vast amounts of paper. If you buy your coffee by the cup, bring your own reusable cup with you. You'll save paper, reduce chlorine used to bleach cups, and reduce your contribution to landfills. Whether you make your own java or have it made for you, look for shade-grown organic coffee, which preserves land for birds and avoids pesticides and other chemicals. These are just a few links i found by making a google search for "green" "tips". |

"Green" has become another word for "sustainable development" which refers to United Nations Agenda 21. There is much info on the internet about this. |

That is a good start, but only a start. You should recyle everything - better, avoid everything you can that needs to be recyled or cannot be. And while talking about cycling, get a bike instead of a car. Some green German town officials have opted for a govt. bike instead of the car their positions "justified". Here are a couple of sites on the subject, and more to be found with a search for "green lifestyle": http://www.green-solutions.com/green%20lifestyle.htm http://www.greenphase.com/ http://greenlifestyle.com/ |

Non- Toxic Cleaning.. Lets start with the bath-room. You can sanitize by using lemons and baking soda. Squeeze the lemons in the area needing to be cleaned sprinkle the baking soda over the juice and let stand for 10-15 minutes. Scrub with scruber and water. You can also use this method in the kitchen. To clean the glass/ windows in your home even the carpet stains you can use viniger and water. Pour 3/4 part of viniger in a spray bottle and 1/4 part water and spray where needed, clean with newsparer or towel. Do not use bleach on any of your clothing better yet bye the detergents that contain bleach, like tide with color safe bleach, this is less toxic. Only take organic medication that are sold over the counter. Stay away from fast food and soda pops. Recycle. Ride a bicycle instead of driving a car. |

Non Toxic Cleaning. I forgot one thing, when you clean with the lemons before scrubing with the water and brush scrub with the lemons you cut/ squeezed this will inhance the cleaning and should make srubbing easier. |
