Yes! Your Going Green






You have made the choice to save mother earth and you want to do your share by going green. That's an excellent choice, but I'm hear to tell you to be environmental friendly is not so easy so start out small and in stages. Let's take that bull by the horns and get this party started.


Start with one room and make little changes. You can start with energy efficient light bulbs.
Since the bathroom is typically filled tons of toxic chemicals let’s begin there with a few quick steps to make your bathroom more environmentally friendly.


The key word in this room is water: This is one thing we want to save by eliminate how much water you literally flush down the drain by using a dual-flush toilet, a low-flow shower head, and a low-flow faucet aerator. You can save thousands of gallons of water a year with these simple changes.


It's time to clean: When cleaning your bathroom, try to avoid using disposable products use washable rags and scrubbers instead. Select cleaning products that are environmentally friendly and refill the bottles rather than buying new ones each time.


Don’t stop with green cleaning products but go all out and look for green products for your entire bathroom. That includes paints, bamboo is much more economical and better for the environment than some other fabrics so look for bamboo towels. Look for plastic products that are PVC free to avoid the toxins they release. Select toilet paper that is made from recycled material. Use as many recycled or reclaimed products as possible to create a unique and pleasing bathroom environment that is both better for you and the environment.


Don't forget to start to recycle if you have not started yet.
