Goal For The Green

To me there is nothing more relaxing at the end of your day, than pleasant, soft music and beautiful scenes.  Reflect upon the sands of time and …Enjoy!

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.”

Back on January 26, 2009, I posted about Chad Maglaque’s plug-in windpower device. He calls it the Jellyfish. It is his entry to Google’s Project 10 to 100th. The project is a call for ideas, with the potential to change the world, by helping as many people as possible.

Originally, today you were suppose to be able to vote for your favorite entry to the contest.  However, due to overwhelming response they are requiring more time to get through all the entries and narrow it down to the top candidates.  Be sure to sign-up for an update here.
