Going Green has gone overboard for many idiots....bottled water?...I coud refill all the bottles with water from my garden hose and no one would know the difference.....
Going green should not cost me more, what am I saving, money or the whole planet?...I agree we should all do our part and it can add up, but stick to simple basics, that almost everyone can do or use with ease.....
bleach, borax, ammonia, vinegar, etc......all basic great cleaners....I lke to save money by buying ZEP cleaning prducts from Lowes and Home Depot....most cost about $6.00 to $10.00 a gallon, most are concentrates, 1 ounce of window cleaner to a 32 ounce empty windex bottle mix with water, cost wise thats 128 bottles of windex for around $9.00, for example....
Common sense is how you go green....makes more sense to use a wringer washer and hang clothes out on a line....that's my idea of HE...but just the same, all gray water from my house feeds the flower beds and waters the lawn on one side of the house...guess which side is more plush and greener?...night and day difference...who needs ChemLawn?.....bleach is naturally made from salt water, and breaks back down after use to its original form.....don't know how exactly but it works!...is it a waste to re-use wash water and the chemicals? or re-purposing recycled products...at least I don't have to water my lawn and put down chemicals....money in my pocket!
try a test...I have done this...take a 12 inch square piece of lawn...spray the grass with pure bleach (not diluted), in a day or so it will turn yellow, some will die off, and in a week or so the grass will come back plush, thick, dark green blades of grass, have some fun with it and do a checkerboard for the kids to play with, 2 tone green....I discoverd this when I thought bleach would kill the weeds and grass in the driveway and stone walkway...WRONG...it grew back worse than before!
