In the after glow of the holidays, I realized all the time spent with family and friends was well worth my time personally (learned some new holiday recipes) and professionally (amazing eco friendly ideas). My friends and family have been fine tuning their way of living “green.” Of course, I asked as many questions that I could without looking creepy. Continue reading to find some of the easy things my friends and family have been doing.
Shred all your used wrapping paper to make decorative bag filler instead of tissue paper.
Prune some of your over grown plants and start new ones by placing the clippings in a glass of water which will force roots to grow. Don’t forget to put your glass in the sun to help the process along.
While emptying the dehumidifier, use the water to nourish your indoor plants.
Send your broken holiday lights to Recycling Program 118 Rosehill Drive, Suite 1, Jackson, MI 49202 or check out HolidayLEDs.com.
Save your plastic shopping bags and use to line your bathroom trash can or for cleaning out the liter box.
Break up your old bread and spread it around your backyard or a park for the neighborhood birds.
Buy a compost bin and save your kitchen scraps. Eventually, you will produce the best soil you have ever seen! (As said by my friend)
Save on time and cleaning supplies by taking your shoes off at the door of your home.
Reuse your plastic sandwich bags by just rinsing them out and hanging them to dry.
Use a wash cloth to wipe up the baby after his/her meals instead of paper towels.
As for baby wipes, buy one plastic container and just buy the refill wipes. We don’t need so many plastic containers ending up in the landfill.
I hope you find these tips helpful. I know I did. Let me know how it is going at Chrissyc1@cox.net
