Great green tips needed!
Getting back up to speed on my Green blog - what I would like to do is start collecting 'green tips' for living.
The green movement is really just practical living. It's what we used to do as I grew up in Indiana...don't throw away things, see if the livestock would eat it, or if you could use it to fix something else you used it, and save everything in case you need it later. (In an organized fashion of course, no hoarding here)
My tip today - is that I have always used plain white vinegar for almost every cleaning project in my house. I've always had lots of those big plastic bottles left over, but I just found another use for those - hang on....HANGING PLANTERS for those upside down herb gardens we've been hearing about.
Stay tuned for how to build them, but seriously it's so easy even a 5 year old could do it.
Please share your Green tips today!...
And if you have ever wanted to just search for 'green built' homes, here you - click here and enjoy! (don't waste gas, just search for homes here and then go see the one that really is exciting!)

Going Green at the office -
I received an email from our office manager today, asking to review our paper 'packages' so that we could eliminate unnecessary paperwork that we don't utilize.
This is a great thing to do on a monthly basis. Review everything that you carry paper for, and ask yourself 'is this really needed'. When I told her to eliminate all three of the items that she sent as examples her response was "great!"
If the question hadn't been asked, how much longer would we have continued to have these pieces of paper hanging around.
Another question that I asked my marketing department was "how many home books do we want this year" and we decided NONE unless our sellers specifically request them.
You would be surprised how many people, when asked, don't really want or need the paper trail that we leave behind. All of our marketing materials are on-line, easy to find - and printable if someone wants to carry them around on paper.
Little changes, big results!
