Looking to take a vaca & want to find an amazing place to do it guilt-free? Here are some great sights to check out for beautiful eco-travel. You may also want to go to www.carbonfund.org to offset your plane trip's carbon footprint, though more airlines are becoming more eco-conscious. Check out Boeing's site which will tell you who is using their particular eco-conscious products

Silverjet is reported to be the world's first carbon-neutral airline, but with few stops, they are not always a viable option: www.flysilverjet.com

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.
More household cleaners: http://www.pristineplanet.com/non-toxic-natural-biodegradable-environmentally-earth-eco-friendly/cleaners/5974_a_0.html


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:
