There are many ways to become eco-friendly....it's not as hard as you think and may save you money in the long run. The environment will benefit and cancer risks can be greatly reduced by making some simple changes.

• Use a reuseable water bottle. This will cut down on the amount of plastic that ends up in the land fills. Plastic can leach harmful chemicals into your water. Choose an aluminium or stainless steel bottle.
• Recycle, reduce, reuse. It makes a world of difference.
• Carry a tote bag. Plastic is out...canvas is in.
• Clean with vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda. Many cleaning products have harmful chemicals in them. Use natural products.
• Consider cloth diapers.
• Walk, bike or take the bus.
• Car pool to work....everyone ends up saving.

• Wash clothing in cold water
• Shop Locally. Find farmers' markets and other sources of sustainable grown food near you.
