8. Use products and methods of cleaning with natural, non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients. So much can be done with baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice. Petroleum-based cleaners deplete natural resources and destruction of precious land and water environments.

I would add:
• Start a vegetable garden, get everybody involved, and have fun with it!
• Buy seasonal and local
• Cook more and get more creative in the kitchen. Get your grandma recipes out.
• Take your closet to a green inspection, find out what you can recycle, restyle, and how you can move toward the “slow fashion” movement.
