Moms Going Green

Focus on the Basics

Clean Water and Air:
Consider purchasing a home air filtration system to reduce indoor air pollution and a water filter to purify the water you drink and use for cooking.

Healthy Food Choices:
Choose organic whenever possible and use a produce wash to rinse pesticides, wax, and other contaminants off of your fruits and vegetables. Try to reduce your meat consumption (especially red-meat). Not sure how? Take a free vegetarian cooking class from Down to Earth.

Save Energy:
Consider switching to a solar hot water system. The government offers many incentives to make it affordable, and you can save nearly 40% on energy costs. Also, consider ways to conserve water like putting your sprinklers on a timer, or getting a low-flow shower head.
