When I stop and think about all that is wrong with the world it overwhelms me. Violence, drugs, our health, and our environment, the list goes on and on. Today is the day that I stop worrying and start doing something about it. I don't expect to change the world, but I do intend to make a difference. By educating, sharing experiences, and spreading the word, we CAN make a difference one person at a time...

The EPA has determined that the air quality inside of our homes is five to ten times more toxic than the air outside, and usually contaminated with numerous pollutants. How can this be? We think of our homes as a sanctuary, a place to be safe and protected. But, every time that we spray a conventional cleaner we are filling our homes with chemicals and toxins that we then inhale or absorb through our skin. It's no wonder so many people are getting sick, and yet we wonder why?
The next time you walk through the cleaning aisle in the grocery store consider switching one of your conventional cleaners for a green cleaner. This one small step will help make your home a safer place for you and your loved ones.

Did you know that if every home in the US replaced just one regular light bulb with an energy star light we would save enough energy to power more than 3 million homes a year! It would prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse emissions a year, that's equivalent to the emissions of about 800,000 cars. (http://www.energystar.gov/)
Here is where you come in. I challenge you to replace one light bulb in your home with an energy star light. Not only will it help save the planet but it will help save you money in the long run. It will save you about $30 over its lifetime and it lasts 1o times longer than a conventional light bulb. I use them in my home and there is absolutely no difference. You have nothing to lose. This one change is a way that a single person can make a difference. Remember, change starts with you!
