Last night Gina Murphy-Darling, a.k.a. Mrs. Green of Tucson radio fame, presented at the Civano Neighbors neighborhood association annual meeting. (It just so happens that in addition to editing Terrain.org, I head up our new urbanist community’s neighborhood association, for better or worse….)
Here are her Top Ten Green Tips:
- Oh the places you go… take reusable bags.
- You can lead a horse to water… but make sure you have a reusable water bottlw with you.
- Save on your energy bill… unplug cell phone chargers and other appliances when not in use.
- Always shut your computer down… save energy, not to mention your workplace will be about 5 degrees cooler.
- Green birthday fun… make a meal for a friend or loved one instead of buying things that come in packaging.
- If you are going to shop organic… buy organic milk, fruits, vegetables, and meat.
- Remove ALL antibaaterial soap from your home… the plain old stuff works great.
- Stop junk mail and save trees… www.41pounds.org.
- Buy organic wine… and really make green living fun!
- Use hydrogen peroxide… for mouthwash, germ removal of toothbrushes, cleaning countertops and table tops, cleaning cutting boards, healing cuts, and much more.
