Wellness #41 - Going Green- Part 2

http://www.obviously.com/junkmail/ This is the first task I need to do. All of a sudden I'm getting more junk mail than ever. I try to make sure I "opt out" on all the offers I get in the mail, but maybe I need to call the 800 number again. It needs to be done for each person who lives in the home.
My house was built in 1983, and we are starting to have some weatherstripping problems around the doors and windows again, so that is probably an activity I will try and get done, especially before winter gets here. It's not as obvious during the summer when I "air condition the outdoors", but in the winter it it because cold air seeps into the house and freezes my toesies.

http://www.care2.com/greenliving/make-your-own-non-toxic-cleaning-kit.html I've always thought about making my own cleansers, but never had all the stuff in the recipe, and never remembered to add them to my grocery list. This would take more committment, but I might try some of these recipes. The stores sell the natural, non-toxic stuff now. My daughter uses it because of her little kids.

http://www.obviously.com/recycle/ This list seems irrelevant for me since the company that picks up our recycle stuff gives us a list of what they pickup and what they don't. They don't pick up any glass. Cereal boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic, food cans, soda cans, aluminum, etc. I'm glad they pick up for us so we don't have to transport our stuff. There are several recycle bins in the area, however. One right across the street from where I work. This was a great link http://www.obviously.com/recycle/guides/shortest.html for people who need to know what recycles and what doesn't.

A person could spend all day on this site. http://www.diylife.com/ I like this site. It has a lot of great ideas and do it yourself projects. Great way to save money.
