Well this IS earth day you know.

While watching the 53000.00 diesel Mercedes being shown on CNBC this AM my hubby and I both said 'in stereo' "every day should be earth day".

We recycle about 90% of your household trash and I am pushing for a compost box for the backyard. We use cloth napkins, never use paper plates or plastic forks or dinnerware. All of the cleaning materials I purchase are either from
7th Generation or Simple Green; and we have a front loading washer and dryer that uses 12 gallons per load instead of the 38 that my old large capacity top loading washer used.

We also use corn gluten to control weeds in the yard. Coffee grounds make excellent fertilizer and we recycle all batterys and old computer hardware at the once a year Best Buy recyle weekend.

I also purchase bamboo clothing and we are serioulsy looking at bamboo flooring for the re-do to get rid of the carpet.

We will also be building a new home in a couple of years and have decided to go with SIP building materials. Structural Insulated Panels instead of sticks, with on demand hot water and anything else energy efficient we can find.

Our company is a virtual one with members spread between Texas and California. We have lots of ohone conversations, texting and BaseCamp chat with face to face several times a year, so I am sure (hopefully) that this structure is helping the environment as well.

Hi MetroGal: Actually everyone posted a great list for going green. Every little bit each of us does helps.
Whenever we have furniture or household items we give them to Habitat for Humanity.There is a store in our vicinity.

I read your profile and wish you luck and success with opening your own business in the future.
I appreciate individuals checking out my website as word of mouth is fantastic advertisement. My business is a work in progress but I feel so blessed with the opportunities afforded me. It is empowering.

Have a great evening everyone.

Sams Club (yes the SAMS owned by Wal Mart) in our area sells bamboo clothing mostly just exercise and leisure wear but since our offices are warehouse, that works for me most of the time. THe bamboo material is so soft and keeps its shape a lot better than some of the less expensive cotton blends.

Hi CatmanCharlie,

Thanks for the message. MPG-CAPS are a great product. I started using them a while back and really appreciated the fuel savings, which was much lower than the current cost. I have worked in environmental compliance for many years so I also appreciated the reduction to harmful exhaust emissions. I liked the products so much I became an Independent Distributor for Fuel Freedom International (FFI). I like being an Entrepreneur. FFI is a fantastic corporation that provides us distributors with so many tools and opportunities to expand our home business, training websites, etc.

MPG-CAPS improve fuel economy; increase power, increases octane in lower grade fuels. In fact my niece has a vehicle that uses high octane and by using the MPG-CAPS can use a low octane fuel, which also helps beat the rising fuel costs.

My websites that might be of interest to you are:
