Power vampires!
Do you have vampires in your house? Electricity vampires, that is. Vampires include TVs, VCRs, ipods, cell phone chargers, stereos, computers, and anything with a remote or a clock display. These are using electricity ALL the time. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that these devices account for 5% of all residential power consumption. To rid your home of vampires, unplug these devices when not is use. Or plug them into a power strip that you can turn off with the flip of a switch.

Buy local food
The green star award winner for May 2009 goes to Toni Dodd for buying local, organic milk.
How does buying local food protect the environment?
Local food doesn't have to travel far. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions and packing materials.
Buying local food helps to make farming more profitable and selling farmland for development less attractive.
Knowing where your food comes from and how it is grown or raised enables you to choose safe food from farmers who avoid or reduce their use of chemicals, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified seed in their operations.
See www.foodroutes.org to learn more.

Oceans and Marine Species at Risk
According to Greenpeace, overfishing and destructive fishing are among the most significant threats facing our oceans. Many fish are on the RED List, meaning they are being pushed closer and closer to extinction. Some of the more commonly eaten fish on the list include: Atlantic Cod, Atlantic Salmon, Bluefin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Orange Roughy, South Atlantic Albacore Tuna, and Yellowfin Tuna. (Did you notice Four kinds of tuna are on this list?) To see the complete list go to www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/oceans/seafood/red-fish Please be careful and try to avoid eating the fish on the red list.

green cleaning- laundry
Another Green Cleaning idea...
Since laundry detergents pollute water and can poison children, it would be more environmentally friendly to use borax or washing soda. Just add 1/2 cup of either one to the washing machine with your clothes. Borax and washing soda can be found in the detergent section of the grocery store.
OR you can buy an environmentally friendly brand of laundry soap. More and more green products are becoming available all the time. Here are some I've noticed: Seventh Generation and Mrs. Meyers can be found at our local HyVee in the Health Food Area, biokleen is available at Whole Foods. You can also order laundry soaps from Shaklee at www.shaklee.net/nomoretoxins or from Gaiam at www.Gaiam.com/EcoLaundry.
