a greener autumn

If you live in Ontario, you likely woke up to a gray sky, rain and fog. Fall has arrived!

On a cheerier note, the season brings us many opportunies to help mother nature along. Our top ten tips for a green and cozy fall:

-clear the clutter inside (donate clothes and books, freecycle the rest)
-enjoy local fall produce (think yellow and orange!)
-add some warm, organic cotton towels to the bathroom
-get your heating system checked
-clean the chimneys and fireplace
-recycle all your old newspapers and magazines
-clean out and check your car, including tire pressure for fuel efficiency
-replace bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs
-for leaves, swap plastic bags for biodegradable ones
-or, opt for no bag at all, and start a compost to create a healthy mulch for Spring
