Green Tips :D

Being organized not only means that you have de-cluttered all the unnecessary objects in your home, but that you are efficiently and cost-effectively utilizing the ones you do want and need. Being green means keeping an eye on waste and consumption. Keeping consumption down is good for the mind, body and house!

1. BE FREE FROM JUNK MAIL. Get rid of your junk mail and unwanted catalogs and stop killing trees by signing up with GREENDIMES.com.

2. GIFT GIVING: Give an experience rather than stuff. A gift certificate for a massage, facial, restaurant, or theater. Donate to a charity in the person's name. Spend quality time with that person. The memory lasts longer than any "thing."

3. REGIFT. Make a gift area for things that you receive and don't like but know they will be appreciated and loved by someone else.

Bululu's Favorite sellers ...Loran Scruggs

I found this amazing artist who works using recycled tin cans to make fun and colorful toys, her name is Loran Scruggs.

I finally meet her...well on video at least...I've been a fan of her for more than a year now, I admire her work.





From Loran profiles "I'm a metal girl, I have a large stash of bottle caps and tins cans organized in my little shop. I spend all spare moments there starting and finishing every piece.

I collect bottle caps and tin from local restaurants, friends and interested neighbors. Some decorative tins are purchased from second hand stores.

The whistle were along time in the idea bank. Years ago I was inspired by Bobby Hansons book "Working with Tin" where he shows how to make a whistle out of two pieces of tin. I increased the tin size and added bottle caps and they are."

More Eco Tips

1. TAKE YOUR NAME OFF THE LIST! Get your name removed from unwanted credit cards and insurance offers.
Go to: OptOutPrescreen.com or call 1(888) 5 OPT OUT.

2. LOSE THE JUNK FROM YOUR TRUNK. Each 100 lbs in the car increases gas consumption 1-2%.

3. CONSOLIDATE CLEANING PRODUCTS. Use healthy multi-purpose green products. You won't need 10 different things to clean your house. That saves room under the sink and the amount of empty of half used plastic bottles.

Be "GREEN" This Holiday Season

REGIFT. Make a gift area for things that you receive and don't like but know they will be appreciated and loved by someone else.

DO A "WRAP FREE" GIFT. Use all that newspaper you have in a bin ready to be recycled. Over 38,000 miles of ribbon alone is thrown away during the holiday season. Don't contribute to the waste.

Buy handmade: Mass production are a major cause of global warming and the
poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or
purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes
a small blow to the forces of mass production.

BUY Online: Avoid the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in
favor of something more meaningful.

Shop local helps the economy and the community. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community and your country.

Choose products that come with little packaging. You will also
cut down on waste production and energy use!

Go green!

1. DO A "WRAP FREE" GIFT. Use all that newspaper you have in a bin ready to be recycled. Over 38,000 miles of ribbon alone is thrown away during the holiday season. Don't contribute to the waste.

2. BE FULLY LOADED. Do full loads of laundry, not just a bunch of little ones. You save energy (yours and fuel) and time.

3. GET VIRTUAL, MAN. Put bank accounts and statements on line. Get rid of that monthly paper clog.

Change the light bulb

1. Have a pad and attached pen on the refrigerator to note when something is done or running low and take the pad to the supermarket. This cuts down on food and time waste!

2. CHANGE LIGHT BULBS to low energy ones. It saves you time and money. (They last longer and don't burn out as quickly).
