Goal For The Green

There is no disputing the impact of technology on our everyday lives.  Almost everyone these days is connected to some type of electronic device.  If they are not, they are exposed to some form of technological convenience on a daily basis.  Anything from your microwave, cell phone and computers, use radio frequency waves, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The question remains, is this harmful?

Please take the time to watch this startling video segment which just aired on the Australian version of “60 Minutes” about Cell Phones and Brain Cancer. This may be a true “wake up call” for those that still question whether EMR is potentially harmful to your health.

My goal is only to bring you current information on this topic, not to use scare tactics. After all, it is your body, your health and your decision to make, if you feel this is a concern to you.  However, if you or the teenager’s in your home, are always on their cell phone, computer, or plugged-in to some electronic device, you may want to consider some form of protection from EMR.

I certainly am not giving up the use of my cell phone, or the convienences offered by the advances of technology.  However, I do use the biopro chips, throughout my home on electronic devices.  I would rather attempt to be safe, than a sorry statistic.  I hope you agree.

Although it doesn’t feel like it here in Washington, ( only in the 40’s), it’s time to at least start thinking about making our homes all fresh and clean for the Spring and Summer months.

About a year ago to be exact, I spoke about Green Spring Cleaning Agents, to help you with that task.  There are some helpful tips there, that are cost free and available from your kitchen pantry.  Better yet, it’s more than likely you have these things on hand, without having to make a special run to the store to purchase cleaners.

Then there is the matter of the garage.  At least, I can park in mine, but there is plenty to get rid of.  I will more than likely, sort things, and start by having a garage sale.  What does’nt sell, I like to donate to my local Women’s Shelter.  Household goods are put to good use there, by women who are about to start their lives over, after leaving abusive relationships.

Another thing to do, is give  your things away.  Lyndi, over at Thrifty Creativity wrote an excellent post on freecycling.  She can tell you everything you want to know about, how you can get what you want, or need for free through The Freecycle Network.  Be sure to check it out.

My hope is that these tips and ideas will help you with these often dreaded and daunting tasks.  At least they can help you be more thrifty, frugal, and “green.”

Just wanted to share this with you.  We need to strive to never have our futrue look like this:

This is what eco- sustainability can look like in our homes:
