Stuff that makes it easy being green
1. Tap into clean water. Water purifiers are great options for cleaning up the tap. Berkefeld gravity filters sit on the counter top, while Gaiam's version plugs directly into a house's plumbing.
2. Keep things contained. Pyrex's reusable food storage containers not only offer a safe, non-toxic alternative to plastic, they also help cut down on use of disposable wrappings. 3. Get cooking. Lodge makes great classic American cast-iron cookware. But for those who just can't do without the modern non-stick stuff, GreenPan offers pots and pans made without the harmful chemicals. When it comes to clean up, Sara Snow has it covered. Check out her tips for greening your dishwasher below.
