Tips For a Greener Home

1. Get a virtual energy audit of your home using the Home Energy Saver's do-it-yourself audit.

2. Set up a recycling station in your home, and be sure to check your city's current recycling guidelines, which change periodically.

3. Switch to natural, non-toxic household cleaners to protect your family's health and the environment. It's easy! Even Target is now carrying natural cleaning products.

4. Replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact florescent lights.
