CLEAN CONSCIENCE CLEAN HOME CLEAN WORLD

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

4 STEPS TO A CLEANER WORLD

1. PROTECT WATER. You and your family deserve to live in a clean home without the dangers of toxins and chemicals that can be found in typical cleaning products. It is important for us to protect our waterways from contamination. Common household cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that end up going down the drain. In the U.S., 500,000 tons of pollutants pour into lakes and rivers daily and many chemicals are not removed even after passing through water treatment centers.

USE CLEANING PRODUCTS WITHOUT CHLORINE, PHOSPHATES, AND OTHER HARSH CHEMICALS


2. SAVE ENERGY. Reduce your energy demand. 45% of your home energy costs come from space heating.

PROGRAM OR MANUALLY TURN DOWN YOUR THERMOSTAT BY 2 DEGREES IN WINTER


3. IMPROVE AIR QUALITY. According to the EPA, vehicle emissions and other toxic air pollutants that are found in some home cleaning products can contribute to health risks such as damage to the immune system and respiratory health problems. Vehicle exhaust alone contributes about 60% of all air pollution emissions nationwide and up to 95% in cities.

USE MASS TRANSIT, RIDE YOUR BIKE, CARPOOL

4. REDUCE WASTE. Every year, the U.S. generates approximately 230 million tons of garbage. Less than 1/4 is recycled. In the U.S., each person generates about 4.6 pounds of garbage every day.

RECYCLE OLD NEWSPAPERS, ALUMINUM CANS, GLASS AND PLASTIC. USE INTERNET TO FIND LOCATIONS THAT ACCEPT OLD BATTERIES, CELL PHONES, MOTOR OIL, COMPUTERS, MATTRESSES. CONTRIBUTE OLD ITEMS TO LOCAL CHARITIES.
