WEEKLY GREEN TIPS

Brad Boyd, a friend and local blogger, has spent the past eight months posting one green tip per week on his blog at www.green52.org. He’s currently at Week 37 in his quest to come up with one simple and inexpensive green tip per week for one year. There’s some intriguing ideas and gentle reminders on the site, including the answer to a question I’d never considered: how might you increase the life span of disposable razor blades? (I’m not telling, answer found at post: Green Tip #33) There’s also information about LED lighting, green gift giving, the wonders of baking soda, rechargeable batteries, shower heads, the benefits of raking leaves, and even a section on how to eat your lunch. It’s worth a look if you’re trying to adopt greener habits, and find yourself looking for some new ideas.

Raking leaves - get in shape!
