Some green living tips are fairly room specific. Other green living tips, once enacted benefit your entire household. Some all-over green home tips include…

2. Green clean the air in your home.
3. Make it a goal to use cloth everything – cleaning cloths, napkins, and if you’re up for it, cloth diapers.
4. Go one step further with the above tip and purchase only organic textiles.
5. If all cloth is too big a step, purchase recycled, unbleached paper products.
6. Use LED lighting where you can and install energy saving bulbs in other light fixtures.
7. Reuse items in your home instead of tossing them.
