Indoor pollution is a real problem in our modern age.

The paints we use to adorn the walls of our homes can really contribute to that problem, which in turn contributes to the pollutants in the air we breath, in general.

House paint can include such nastiness as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and ethylene glycol to name a few.

These chemicals can spend time evaporating and becoming part of the air you breathe years after you've painted your living room. This is a scary thought, but what can we do to help prevent this type hazard in our homes?

The weather is warming, flowers are blooming, and birds are chirping away.

Yep, it's time for...

Spring cleaning?!?!

Ugh, it's no fun coming out of hibernation and having to clean up the cave, but since it's a necessary evil, we might as well go about cleaning green, don't you think?

However, since living green has become big business these days, it's becoming increasingly challenging to decide what food, personal care products, and practices are actually green and not just greenwashed.

The same challenge exists in selecting green cleaning products. What's REALLY safe, non-toxic, and the like?

Spring is knocking at the door and that means that it's DIY time!

That's right all you weekend warriors, strap on your tool belts and prepare for battle. But where do you start?

As long as we're looking for a project to start on, why not choose one that will help us take another step towards living green? And if we're going to take that step, why not address an issue that contributes up to 25% of our overall energy bill all year round?

That's right it's time to tackle the water heater!
