Garbage disposal have bad breath? Run hot water and feed it orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit rinds.

Locally grown produce is fresher, saves fuel, and cuts pollution. (I only eat 100% North Pole-produced gingerbread cookies.)

A real "super bowl" uses less water per flush! Trick your old toilet into saving water: fill a plastic soda bottle with H2O and place in the tank.

Oh baby! Did you know that BABY OIL can polish chrome? Add to a cloth and your faucets are all set!

Blood stains on fabric? Shampoo + ice cubes + very cold water = works like a charm as long as you don't let the blood set for too long or try to wash/dry the clothing first.

Recycle clothes box lids as cupcake carriers. Cut 12 X’s into a lid to transport a delicious dozen without incident. 11 if you’re hungry. 

Cheer up Kermit, it’s easier being green! A gentle first step: swap household cleaners (i.e. detergents) for plant-based, eco-friendly ones!

Tapped out of bottled water? Use a water-filter pitcher or install an in-sink faucet filter. Use the H2O you’re already paying for!

Go bananas when you come home from the store…by separating your bananas. Bananas connected to their stems ripen faster.
