Simple.Eco.Home - how to make your home more earth-friendly

Junk mail overloading your recycling bin, or even (gasp) going straight into your trash cans that are overfilling landfills & poisoning air & drinking water? try http://www.41pounds.org/

Clean freak? Introduce some non-chemical cleaners into your repertoire to really make a clean difference:
multi-purpose cleaners for home & business: www.sunterra.us
Use white vinegar to clean your tile floors. Just use 1/3 white vinegar & 2/3 water in your wash water to clean the tile.

Also, try buying just some normal cotton wash clothes or towels to use instead of paper towels. Try going without paper towels for a month in your house - you can do it!!

Another tip to cut down waist? Buy some cloth napkins & use these instead of paper napkins. The smaller landfills will thank you!

Don't have the time? Have someone else do it for you the green way:
