Friends of ours recently bought a house, and their parents threw them a send off party where everyone was invited to bring their favourite cleaning products to give the new home owner. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to spread the good green word, I got a bucket and filled it with a jug of vinegar, borax, baking soda, a spray bottle, a hand-knit cotton dishcloth and a copy of my friend Adria’s book, Ecoholic, with all kinds of tips for living a green life.
