My goals are:
1. Create a healthier home environment,
2. Reduce my environmental impact
3. Make a little money to supplement my family income.
4. Support US and local businesses instead of international ones.
I come from a long line of family members who have been green for decades. We are originally from The Netherlands and being green is a fact of life over there. We are such a small country that even the farmers have to account for the manure each cow makes. With this in mind I have always wanted to be greener in my life in the USA. However The States do not make it easy. I recycle glass, paper and plastic. We do all our errands in one trip so we do not go out several times a day. The children ride the bus because it is greener even though we have to pay .50 cents a ride.
The grocery stores are packed full of products that are processed, filled with toxic chemicals and generally not healthy for our daily lives. So I have decided to tackle this going green piece by piece. So number 1 of my goals is to create a healthier, greener environment in my home. The green products in the grocery store are expensive and they do not always work as well as the chemical ones that I have used. I use vinegar and water for glass cleaner, but then my home smells like a female cleansing room.- Not desirable. So I have decided to try Clear Power Glass Cleaner from Melaleuca. It should arrive today or tomorrow. I am going to see how good it is for one and how it stacks up against my all time favorite- Windex. Clear Power Glass Cleaner uses natural distilled white vinegar and naturally derived solvents instead of ammonia. It also has a floral fragrance. We will see how well I like it. The other benefit is that it comes in concentrated form so I mix with water. The cost is supposedly less than Windex. I will let you guys know. I am very excited to try.
