greenliving

I can’t believe it’s over a month since I last blogged on this site. However, green living is never far from my mind- indeed, it has become an integral part of my daily existence. And while I am not as ‘good’ as I should or want to be, I do believe that in doing simply what you can each day- recycling your discarded items, investing in energy saving devices etc, it can help to an enormous extent. Having said that, this blog is all about the simple and easy ways you can make your life greener and more enriched. It’s not about investing in a hybrid car or replacing your roofs with solar panels (though of course if you can do that, you should!). It’s about how the average joe (or jane) can make a difference in his or her life.

So these are some of the things I’ve learnt this last month:

Newspapers can be used of course to polish glass and window panes and also mirrors and stainless steel objects, such as your bathroom fittings. They can also be used to soak up the moisture in damp shoes (such as those that have been out walking in the rain or that belong to sweaty feet owners).

Erasers (a lot of them live in our home simply because they make great goody bag stuffers!) can be used to remove scruff marks on the floor as well as apparantly clean piano keys! ( I don’t have a piano, but I read that it works wonders).And finally, my favourite, eggs! We consume a lot of organic eggs at home and I hate to throw out the shells. They’ve been painted and used as plant holders by my preschool kids, have been crushed and thrown into the soil as fertilizers and will be decorated for easter.

Any other ideas for using everyday objects in a multiple number of ways? Write me!
