10 WAYS TO GO GREEN IN YOUR KITCHEN

According to She Knows living Article By Elaina Verhoff

  If you want to switch to a greener lifestyle, start in the kitchen. From paper products to produce, the kitchen is filled with opportunities to reduce your family's waste and reduce energy consumption. Here are 10 simple swaps to help you green your kitchen.

Swap paper towels for cloth.

You’ll be surprised at how easy it is kick the paper towel habit. Stock up on super-absorbent, fast-drying cloths like Trader Joe’s Amazing Kitchen Cloths. They don’t get stinky like sponges, and you can toss them in the laundry to reuse again and again. If you want to take your greening to the next level, replace your paper napkins with reusable cotton napkins.

Swap plastic baggies for reusable cloth sacks.

With all the fun and funky designs now available, no planet-loving lunch packer should still be using plastic zip-top bags. Check out the huge selection of sandwich and snack sacks at snacktaxi.com  or lunchskins.com.

Swap store-bought herbs for homegrown.

Why buy packaged herbs at the grocery store when you can grow your own on your kitchen countertop or windowsill? You’ll love having fresh herbs within reach, and since you pick only what you need, there won’t be any waste.

Swap store-bought cleaners for natural or home-made cleaners.

If you cringe at the thought of making a sandwich on the counter tops you just cleaned, consider swapping chemical-based cleaners for brands that use natural ingredients -- or make your own. With a few basic ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, borax and Castile soap, you can make your own all-purpose cleaner, creamy soft scrub and drain opener.

Make your own Eco-friendly cleaning products

 

Swap regular light bulbs for CFL.

Compact fluorescent light bulbs are good for the environment and your wallet. CFLs last eight to 10 times longer, use about 75 percent less energy, and produce 90 percent less heat than their conventional counterparts. They cost more to purchase but save money in the long run, because you won’t need to replace them as frequently.

Swap bottled water for filtered water.

According to Food and Water Watch, the production and transportation of plastic bottled water in the United States used the energy equivalent of 32 and 54 million barrels of oil in 2007, respectively. Even worse, 75 percent of these plastic bottles end up polluting our landfills, lakes and oceans. Green your kitchen with a faucet filter or pitcher filter, and drink clean pure water without the waste.

Swap tossed kitchen scraps for composting.

Instead of tossing coffee grounds, banana peels and egg shells in the garbage, start a compost bin. Collect kitchen scraps in a countertop bin, then empty into an outdoor compost container to which you’ll add leaves and other brown waste. Churn your compost regularly, and use the resulting mix to nourish your garden.

Swap old appliances for energy-efficient models.

If you’re in the market for a new kitchen appliance, look for a refrigerator or dishwasher with the Energy Star label. This stamp of approval represents a quality appliance that uses energy efficiently, so you’ll save some green while going green.

Swap overly packaged goods for bulk buys.

Instead of filling your grocery cart with single-serve yogurts, oatmeal packets and other products with excess packaging, buy in bulk. Bring your reusable containers with you and fill up for less. For practical tips on bulk-buying and other waste-free swaps, check out this video about the Zero Waste Home -- literally, a family who produces no garbage.

Swap grocery store produce for Farmer's Market or CSA.

It’s no surprise the produce at your grocery store looks a little sad. You would, too, if you had been trucked hundreds of miles or flown halfway around the world to get on the shelf. Support your local farmers and stock your kitchen with fresh produce from the farmer's market. Sign up for a CSA and get a share of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables every week.

 Got anything to add to this list? We’d love to hear from you.

EARTH DAY APRIL 22ND

Everyday should be earth day. 

Making  a practice of recycling is a great way to Celebrate Earth Day

Recycle More, Waste Less
Creating less trash believe it or not is a way of protecting the earth RECYCLING




1. Recycle paperboard. It's the thin cardboard packaging that holds many of the items we buy, like cereal and tissue.

2. Recycle more paper. That includes school papers, junk mail, magazines and catalogs. Even window envelopes and colored paper can be recycled.

3. Recycle electronics. E-waste is the fasting growing disposal problem in the country. Its components are both dangerous and valuable. Website buyback programs and qualified recyclers are listed at http://www.DoYourPart.com/columns.

4. Think about how items can be reused. Glass jars are ideal for storing leftovers. Old holiday cards cards can be turned into gift tags. Sell sporting equipment in a yard sale.

5. Save outgrown or out-of-favor clothes so others can use them. Make a tax deductible contribution to a charity. Sell nice things on eBay or through a consignment shop. Even torn or worn-out clothing can be donated to Goodwill, which sells them to recyclers.

6. Buy food and drinks in larger packaging, like gallon bottles of water instead of individual bottles.

How do you celebrate earth day or what do you contribute to earth?

REMOVING CRAYON ART WORK FROM THE WALL(S)

As parents we all are faced with the crayon art work on the wall by our little one(s) at some point, but if you have not experience it i must say you are a lucky one. If you are not one of those lucky parent(s) here are some easy ways to remove those brilliant colors off the wall(s)......

Disposable Cleaning Erasers:

Use a magic eraser this product works miracles on painted and some other surfaces. Other manufacturers have similar versions, making it easy to find a disposable cleaning eraser that will get your walls crayon free. On heavily textured walls you may need to use a little effort, but it will work. 

These erasers should not be used on some surfaces, including polished/glossy surfaces, wood paneled walls, satin, or dark finishes. Test first in a hidden spot to be sure that you won't damage the finish of your walls.

 

WD-40:

WD-40 works really well to remove crayon on painted walls. Simply spray a little of the product onto a cleaning cloth or paper towel. Wipe over the crayon marks. The crayon usually comes right off. For stubborn or older crayon, more effort may be needed. WD-40 also has a No-Mess Pen that is a great tool for getting crayon off of your walls, and makes less of a mess than using the spray version. WD-40 gets crayon off of painted surfaces really well, but the spray WD-40 can be a little messy. The oily residue will need to be washed off of your walls after you remove the crayon marks. 

WD-40 is also good to get crayon off of wallpaper, plastic, shoes, chalk boards screen doors, and rock walls.

 

 Dish soap & Blow Dryer:

 One of the sure ways to remove crayon from walls is to use a blow dryer and regular mild dish soap. Turn on the blow dryer and blow hot air on the crayon marks. The wax will heat up and begin to melt making it easier to wipe away. Using a cleaning cloth or a paper towel with a little liquid dish soap, gently wipe away the crayon marks. This method is safe to use on most wall surfaces, but test first in a hidden spot to be sure. There may be a little effort needed to remove crayon on heavily textured walls.

 

 

 

White Toothpaste:

Rub the artwork with white toothpaste. Then rinse. There may be a little effort needed to remove crayon on heavily textured walls. 

Test first in a hidden spot to be sure that you won't damage the finish of your walls.

 

 

 

Baking Soda & Water Paste:

Gently rub with a baking soda and water paste. Then rinse. There may be a little effort needed to remove crayon on heavily textured walls. 

Test first in a hidden spot to be sure that you won't damage the finish of your walls.
