The Benefits of Green Carpet Cleaning for Your Home and Family

Spring arrived late this year, so if you’re like me, you’re probably still very much in spring cleaning mode. Now is the perfect time to really scrub beneath the obvious surfaces of your home and clear out the dust, grime, and other remnants of the cold winter months we’re now finally free from. This of course also includes giving your carpets a proper deep cleaning.

Everyone in the family gets up close and personal with the carpets in your home, especially small children and family pets. We all want our carpets to be clean and look great, but most traditional carpet cleaners on the market today contain a laundry list of harsh chemicals. In fact, in the past decade alone, recalls have been issued by the EPA of well-known and widely-used carpet cleaning products, such …

Earth Day has come and gone, and unfortunately, a lot of people have already begun abandoning the intentions they had just a week or two ago to take steps in starting to live a little greener.

Ditch the Disposable Water Bottles for Good

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of hydrosbottle. All opinions are 100% mine.

A few months ago I watched the documentary Tapped, a film that examines how the entire bottled water industry works and discloses the major role it has played in the depletion of our environment, the increase of pollution and our reliance on oil. It also spotlights the industry’s less-than-ethical business practices and how these practices have affected the health of countless people. I think we can all say we know at least the basics of why it is important to think green and to be less wasteful in our every day lives, we have been seeing the statistics and hearing about the harm waste causes for years now. Reading this information and being told that we …

Reduce Your Holiday Impact on the Planet by Reusing Gift Boxes, Bags, and Wrapping Paper

The holidays are a time for being thankful for what you have, for family, for shopping, for giving, and yes, for getting too. They also happen to be responsible for a great amount of waste, especially when we throw all those holiday boxes, bags, ribbons, and wrapping paper in the trash not long after the gifts have been ripped open.

This year, when it’s time for cleanup, instead of throwing all of the paper remains in a trash bag, recycle what is salvageable and store it away for the years to come. It’s not only the eco-conscious thing to do, but you’ll also save money in the process.

Gift wrap can cost an average of $2 per present and even more if you’re wrapping your gifts in boxes and bags and decorating with assorted holiday ribbons. Keep that …

Do the Reuse Challenge: Make an Impact by Giving Up Disposables for 30 Days

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Aladdin. All opinions are 100% mine.

Disposable products like water bottles, coffee cups and food containers have become staples in the every day lives of families everywhere. Unfortunately, something that may seem super convenient, like walking into a store and purchasing a bottle of water, getting a cup of coffee at your local cafe, or ordering take out, has a pretty negative impact on your finances, not to mention the environment.

In recent years we’ve heard a lot of talk about the importance of living a little greener and we’ve seen a lot of families take the initiative to reduce, reuse and recycle when they can, but there’s still a lot more that we can collectively be doing every day to minimize …
