Green and Eco-friendly hints and tips for your home and garden

Living a green life, and having the smallest polluting footprint possible is something that many people consider when making decisions for their home and garden. Everything from green household cleaners to organic fertilizers for your gardening needs are readily available for use.

Energy wasting Statistics

Statistics say that the leading causes of environmental damage from individuals are energy wastage and hazardous waste.

The average household wastes $300 dollars a year in energy. Whether in the form of lights, heat loss, dripping faucets or heating when the home is empty. Inefficient furnaces, air conditioners and other forms of climate control can wreak havoc on your utility bills, and have a damaging effect on the environment.

Eco-Friendly Household Cleaning and Organic Gardening

Household cleaners, fertilizers and other chemicals are leaked into the water systems of our communities every day. Some of these leaks enter the public water supply and finally, enter your home once again through the water that you drink and wash with. Consider making your own compost with kitchen scraps and yard waste to develop your own high quality soil amendments and organic fertilizers.
