Decrease the lawn size by adding plants and trees to the landscape. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">-Or- place a bucket outside to catch the rain water.

Help by adding two trash cans in your home, a recycling bin and a compost bin. A recycling bin should be added to help you remember always to recycle. A smaller bin can be used for a compost pile. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> A trashcan can cost less than 5 dollars. To help save the environment invest in two trashcans. Even if your family does not use a compost pile, find someone locally that does, maybe even a neighbor. Compost piles always need more ingredients to be added to it. Ask them what they would like for you to put into their bin for them. If you cannot find a friend with the need of a compost file, local nurses would love to take the compost pile off your hands. Some may even give you discounts for every can you bring in. <span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"> 6) If you live in a warm climate, paint your house a lighter color. However, if you live in a cold climate, paint your house a darker color. The color of your house can absorb warmth when it is a darker color, allowing for less CO2 to be released into the air. By changing the color of your house it can save 5000 pounds of CO2 every year. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">This will also help to not cool or heat up your house too fast. During the summer, in warm climates, a light colored house will not absorb as much heat as a dark colored house. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> Changing the color of your house can also save you some money.

<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">__Help your Hair__ <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;"> By using homemade remedies you can help your hair and the environment. Shampoos and conditions that are available in drugstore and grocery stores around the world usually contain the same chemicals in them. They do not do any good for your hair. However there are some products out there like LUSH and other organic brands that do study hair. Making your own hair products through can help your hair more. These recipes will strength and give your hair more to show off. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">Face the Green
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">Conditions are great in small amounts. Using too much of a condition can really damage your hair. Generic products can actually do more harm to your hair than making your own condition. It will only time about ten minutes but the result are worth the wait.
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">1/2 cup Honey
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">1/4 cup warmed Olive oil (2T for normal to oily hair)
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">4 drops of essential oil of Rosemary (or any other oils, vanilla is very good. do not use rosemary if you are pregnant)
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">1 tsp. Xanthum gum (any other non liquid laxative will work)
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">This recipe is very simple. Just add all the ingredients into a bowl and stir. I recommend using a whisk. This recipe can be used for every day use but it is not suggested. About one a week should allow your hair with a better conditioning treatment. Once a week coat your hair with the conditioner. Then wrap your hair in a towel and attend to other items on your to do list. After thirty minutes, wash the condition out. If you feel like it is not fully out, apply a little amount of shampoo and rinse. Your hair will feel and look better. It's a simple task that anyone can do for a better hair day.
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">Chlorine is horrible to your hair. It can even cause your hair to turn green. The chlorine strips away essential oils for your hair. It is difficult for them to replenish themselves without help. Try a drench. The drench will allow for your hair to gain some of the more oils that have been lost. It will only take 10 minutes and it's worth the wait. You will not have green hair afterward.
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">1 egg
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">about 2 tablespoons of olive oil
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">1 quart of peelings from a cucumber.
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">Add all of these ingredients to the blender. Blend until the cucumber peeling are not so big. Then apply to your hair. Make sure that it covers all of your hair. For longer or thicker hair, you might want to double the recipe. Leave the drench on for about 10 minutes. You can cover your hair with a shower cap for this time period. But a towel does not work. After the ten minutes are up, rinse your hair. Your hair will feel softer and silkier than before. For year round swimmer, use the product about every other week. For summer time swimmers, use it once a month. It can also be used year round for healthier hair.
 * <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">Thin hair can sometimes be a drag.

For decades woman have used beer to add height, shine, and thickness.

It will feel like your in a salon getting your hair done. After rinse your hair and proceed to drying your hair as normal. Your hair will look like you just went to the salon.
