Babyganics insect repellant spray is not expensive considering you just need 1 spray per limb/area of your body exposed and it works for hours. I live in central Florida we have gnats, no see em's, mosquitos, all sorts of biting insects and this simple all-natural spray works against them all. I tried a lot and found that many that say they're all-natural are not. I tried a Wal Mart "Lemon-Eucalyptus" spray that said it was all-natural and I swear it had an unlisted ingredient that smelled just like kerosene and was flammable, it melted my rubber sandals when I first sprayed it on my feet. I will just go with Babyganics from on.

Excellent article!

We use the regular dishes.

haVE TRASH CAN AND RECYCLE BIN AVAIABLE OUTSIDE

I have been doing most of these green ideas for a long time. I always use cloth napkins, glass dishes,regular silverware, cloth tablecloths etc. I have a garbag disposal, and I compost. I use very little canned goods. That is why I only put my bins out about once a month. I go green, but I lose reward points. I should get points for not puting my bins out. Most of my recycle is magazines and paper. Why doesn't the magazine company's quit sending a magazine every week?
