Waste Not Want Not

Cheaper, safer, cleaner than ever. Spending too much on household cleaners, many of which are loaded with toxic substances. You can make an all purpose cleaner by mixing water, baking soda and vinegar together and store it in an old mason or jelly jar.

Additional recipes for all kinds of cleaners are available at www.treehugger.com. You can save yourself at least $250 a year!

Water in short supply but in high demand. Save gallon after gallon in the bathroom alone.
There are all kinds of steps that you can take, such as taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. The best of all-time favorite way to save water is to put a brick in your toilet trick. Just take a brick and put it in the tank. If you put the brick in there, you will save approximately a third of a gallon every time you flush. Estimate 8% of your water costs.

Power (Non) Play- Electric bills skyrocketing because of constantly plugged in gadgets.
The best product on the market is called the "smart" power strip that has multiple outlets for your game consoles and desktops and the energy sucking plasma TV's. Best price that I found is through www.amazon.com. Search smart strip.
