If you want to extend your swim season w/ warmer pool water, run the pump during sunny times with a solar cover on. I have gotten to as high as 84 degrees already in a partially shaded pool. I just learned this trick at the end of last season and can't believe I can actually get my water...

Sorry if this is a repost: My local newspaper today said 800,000 people will get their direct deposits M, T, and W (800,000 per day), no rebates on Thursday, and 5 million will be deposited on Friday. So, more than twice going out on Friday than M, T, and W combined.

Thanks for all the great posts that have given on how to go green. I appreciate all the tips. I've learned a lot! I think it's great to just be more aware of of how to consume/waste less and also how to use natural products over harsh chemicals. I also print out recipes, receipts, etc...

A word of caution on vinegar use on floors: I have Pergo flooring and for about 3 months was using a vinegar/water mixture. Well, I think the vinegar dissolved the glue, because the floor started to buckle at the seams. I'm assuming it was the vinegar, because that is the only difference that...

Oh, I LOVE the microfiber cloth on the Swiffer idea! Environment-friendly and budget-conscious, too!! Love it!! Last year, our neighbor paid a lawn company (not sure which one) for several treatments. His yard didn't look any better than ours. My DH fertilizers one time in the spring and...

You'll definitely trim your budget by using vinegar/baking soda over health food store stuff. I don't have a good recipe, though. When cleaning toilets, I just dump a little of each in, let fizz, and then brush. I wonder what else these 2 items can be used to clean? I also clean mirrors and...

Ok, got it. You're not doing anything to go green because it infringes on your rights. I am hearing you and respect your point of view and am not trying to convince you to go green. Now, back to the original topic, please.

OP here. Geez, I don't even know where to start. I'd like to thank the RACHEL and BCS for interjecting their totally non-relevant opinions to this thread. (sarcasm intended) You have completely turned it into a debate, which was not the intent at all of the thread. The intent was to see...

::yes:: ::yes::

If you go to garage sales, canvas tote bags are always plentiful and really cheap, too!

Believe me, I am not a radical "green" person. I'm just now starting to do my part to waste less. I enjoy life, too. I am thinking about future generations, and the impact consumption has on them and on the earth. It's you that doesn't get it, and you probably never will, so this will be my...

There's one in every crowd.:rolleyes: To some of us, this is a serious subject. I'm sorry you don't feel the same. Ok, the Sigg bottles...it says you can't freeze them!! That's a dealbreaker for me, as I like to freeze my water and drink it as it thaws. I'm going to keep researching.

Thanks for the sigg information!! Chicago~I recently bought a shampoo from "Organix" at Walgreens ($6.99, but it had a Try me free rebate tag on it) and I swear it is the best smelling shampoo I've ever smelled! Works fine too, but I'm not that picky on shampoo.

Love hearing all the ideas. I also use the clothes line in temps 60+. I'm going to investigate the tankless water heater when our gas water heater gives out.

Where can I get a sigg bottle? I have no special recipe. I just use about 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar in a spray bottle for windows, mirrors, etc. (DON'T ever use vinegar on natural stone) I just pour some vinegar and baking soda in the toilet, and stir w/ a brush. I use straight vinegar on...

Oh yeah, I forgot about using vinegar for cleaning!! And I use vinegar and baking soda in the toilet to clean it. Keep 'em coming!

We switched to CFL's a few months back, I have a canvas tote for the grocery store (though I don't use it like I should), and I buy a lot of used (clothing, furniture, etc.). I limit gas consumption, although I really should have purchased a higher MPG vehicle when we bought last August...

I sold MK ages ago. Make sure you are an assertive people person, if you want to do really well. If you just want to get it for yourself at a discount, you can always sell the product discounted, because you have to place a minimum order every so often to stay active. Remember this...

Our Pergo is about 6-7 years old, and we do have a chip or 2 here or there. I'm not sure how they got there, but I will say I have a rambunctious boy that has friends over all the time. Also, it's starting to buckle at the seams, but I think it happened because I got on a vinegar kick, and...
