Sustainable cleaning supplies and solutions
- For cleaning that's more than a broom, but sustainably accomplished, here's a product that works like Swiffer but you just wash these over and over: The Mint Microfiber cleaning cloths. See photo, what a good idea! http://mintcleaner.com/howitworks/cleaningcloths/
More cleaning solutions,
- Home made cleaning supplies are much cheaper per use and safer, here’s a good website for more about that: http://eartheasy.com/live_nontoxic_solutions.htm

- Earth Share Oregon, an organization that helps connect people to nature and provides workplace recycling resources and info. http://earthshare-oregon.org/campaigns/phonesatwork
- Next Step Recycling, one of my heroes started this organization at her house, Lorraine Kerwood. You can buy great used electronic equipment here, donate your electronic waste here, and support an organization whose mission, in addition to all the good those first two steps add, is to provide training and equipment to people who want help with technological literacy. Awesome organization. http://nextsteprecycling.org/
