Why wait when even small lifestyle changes can make a big difference now? Green Housekeeping is full of advice and information to help you take a more sustainable path. Recycling, reusing and shopping at farmers' markets are a good start, but cutting down on the use of poisonous chemicals is just as important - it's perfectly possible to clean a house using nothing more than lemons, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and plain water. Here, old-fashioned methods are complemented by newer ideas and innovations, and applied not only to cleaning but also to caring for clothes, furniture, and even silver and glassware. Growing some of your own vegetables, fruit and herbs can be very satisfying, and you can use any extras to make jams, oils and chutneys using the handy tips and delicious recipes. Make beauty preparations and bath oils for soothing, effective treatments to enhance everyday health and wellbeing. To become eco-friendly doesn't require self-sacrifice - just some readjustment; and by following the advice in this invaluable guide you will find yourself living a calmer, greener life. 505 0 $a Chapter 1: Keeping house -- Chapter 2: Energy for life -- Chapter 3: The kitchen garden -- Chapter 4: The well-stocked pantry -- Chapter 5: The usefulness of herbs -- Chapter 6: Inspired gifts. 650 0 $a Housekeeping. 650 0 $a Housekeeping $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Sustainable living. 650 0 $a Green products. 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200114014001.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20191029010145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80C8B942FA1111E9A561886097128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
