Busy doing chores this weekend? Have a few minutes to spare? Here's a few green projects that can make a difference in your house and community (and they may already be part of your to do list)!
Less than 10 minutes:
- Replace your shower heads with low flow ones
- Replace your air filters
- Clean your vents, ducts, and fans
- Replace your light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs, or CFL bulbs
Less than 30 minutes:
- Clean off your patio furniture-all you need is a hose, spray bottle filled with diluted vinegar, and an old cloth or toothbrush
- Start a compost bin-build it yourself or buy one and start collecting materials to fill it up
- This can take up a nice corner of your backyard or try a smaller, enclosed outdoor one or a container that can even fit under your sink
- Build or buy a rain barrel...if you already have one-water your plants!
- Line dry your laundry outside
A few extra minutes to spare:
