Being GREEN at home is easy if you know how.

Here are some simple activities:

1. Think about each room in your home....what ways can you be more cautious, concerned and consume less in each?

2. Think about everything in your yard...what could be hazardous or wasteful, what can you do to protect it?

3. Think about products you buy to bring into your home, is everything safe and efficient, are you using too much packaging, too many disposablesor the unhealthy chemicals?

4. Draw your own picture of your home...mark the areas you can be more careful. Post it for the whole family to see.
