Tips for a Greener Lifestyle
AROUND THE HOUSE .....
Recycle your black and white newspapers by using them to clean your windows. Spray the window as usual with a favorite glass
cleaning solution, then crumple several pieces of newsprint and scrub away. Leaves your glass streak-free. You can then use
the ammonia-soaked paper in your compost pile - the nitrogen in the ammonia helps it break down quicker!
YOUR HEALTH .....
Use the "greasy kid stuff" that helps condition your hair. Massage 1 -2 tablespoons of olive oil through your hair and
into your scalp after swimming in the pool. The antioxidants in the oil help to condition hair and keep it in great shape
all summer. Try olive oil based shampoos for extra conditioning as well!
IN THE GARDEN ....
Give your garden an energy boost. Add 1/4 cup of blackstrap molasses to your water-soluble fertilizer solution during your
next feeding. Blackstrap molasses contains sugar, which is food plants can use immediately, and also trace minerals such as
magnesium, calcium, iron and sulphur. You'll notice a boost in flowering and greener leaves after one or two treatments.
